This past weekend Norah's school held its first Daddy Daughter Dance. Norah was so excited. And it was a good motivator to get her to school because each day I would tell her she needed to make sure she was there to get her tickets.
Brent and Norah went to McDonalds before the dance with another dad and his daughter. The girls picked McDonalds. We told the dads we tried to steer them elsewhere but to them thats a fancy dinner.
Norah has been doing so well in school. I've stopped going every day. I'm currently going twice a week but hoping to just go once a week. I have to have an excuse and a reason not to go but she is starting to relax at school and feel safe. It helps when we are walking out each day for teachers like the PE teacher or librarian go make a point to come see Norah and give her a hug and tell her what they are going to do the next day. And she really does have the sweetest kids in her class. We've gone down to once a month counseling - which Norah is very upset about. She wants to see Miss Kelly each week. So the timing of this dance was perfect for her. Norah even stayed after school that day without me to help set up everything for the dance.
She had so much fun!
