Graduation & gifts



Recommended Posts

My 5 year old is graduating from pre-k.. This friday... I'm in love with her school so much I love everyone there. The teachers assistance nurse principle everyone. Tears & tears just talking about it. I can't believe my baby girl is growing up more tears. My daughter couldn't really talk she learn sign language as she started getting words in. She learn from adding to subtracting to her number her address. To spell to read. To communicate with people. I'm so proud of her. This is coming from a mother raising 2 special need kids.

I wish I was rich. To buy everyone beautiful flowers arrangement & it's not due to my plastic surgery fund cuz from there I had to put my kids 1st buy dress shoes do my nails buy pull ups. So when you have kids you spend.

I want to buy flower arrangement for all but it's expensive & I will have to only buy the principle one & the rest regular flowers. What do you think? What other gifts besides flowers I can give the rest. 1 teacher 3 assistance 1 assistance principle 1 nurse. Last day of school is next Thursday.

Honestly? I think a heartfelt letter of thanks would mean mor than anything to them. Maybe with something your daughter made for them to go with it?

Your right I will buy a few cards. Still the flower arrangement Lolz for the principle & maybe tulips for the rest. I won't be seeing them anytime soon but we can always visit once a year so they can see how my daughter is growing up.

As a teacher, a letter of thanks and flowers will mean more than more than one more coffee mug! :) Have your daughter make a card. It will be a testament to the growth the teachers have helped her make.

As a former teacher's assistant I can say the gifts that I loved the most were the things thoughtfully and painstakingly hand made by the children themselves. I have kept every card, poem, artwork, and crafted gift from the kids I worked with. Those little ones are in their twenties today and I still see a lot of them (most are my son's friends). They get a kick out of seeing their old handiwork and like knowing I cared enough about them to keep these special gifts. These keepsakes are as beloved as my own children's childhood mementos. Who does not love a gift made from the heart of a child?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
