The last day of 5th grade was followed by the official opening of Little A's school's new wing, one that had been under construction for nearly the entire academic year.
Student #001, Little A was given the honour of cutting the ribbon. I had no idea that he and his Occupational Therapist had been practicing this for the past few weeks. He used safety scissors, and the ribbon was quite wide, but everyone stood by patiently and he persevered until the ribbon was cut.
Fine motor skills, classroom behaviour and other improvements were made this past year. Tomorrow, we go off to Hong Kong for five days with his grandparents, his first trip to this city since he was below two years old. Big A and I decided that this summer, for the first time since Little A started at "big" school aged 6, he would not join their annual 6 week summer program. Instead he'll have a typical summer with football clinic, swim classes, and plenty of free time. Fingers crossed all goes well!
