"Bye Bye Amy" :-(

"Amy's home!", my little 3-year-old exclaimed early Monday afternoon when his dear friend walked through our front door.

Well, it was a bittersweet afternoon.  Today was Amy's last day to come to the house for Ramsey's speech therapy.   Last Friday (I was gone on a business trip), it was Karen's last day for his occupational therapy.   Their individual assistance towards Ramsey's educational path will cease because he will turn three years old on the 24th.  From there, he will transition into the public school's preschool education system.

Amy's been with us for well over a year (she's family!) and Karen's been coming since September (we barely had time to break her in!).  It was really hard to say goodbye!

When Amy was here, Ramsey was very energetic and happy!  It was sad for me,  thinking this would be "the end" after this session.   Here they are for a big hug (geez, getting all vaklemp thinking about it now).   Ramsey's goodbyes to Amy were nonchalant, as if she'd be back next week.   I know he'll be sad too though, when he asks about her in the near future, but then is reminded that her sessions here are complete.
"Bye bye Amy!", Ramsey said with a big hug, a waving arm, and a cheerful grin.

We were very blessed to have the two special ladies in our lives.  Another chapter has closed and another will start.

Ramsey's new journey is that he will be starting preschool soon (two days after his birthday).  He'll be attending the program two days a week.   We know it will be a terrific experience for him.  And, he will get to make friends!  We are so thankful for that and can't wait for fun new stories from school
