Ephraim was evaluated today by Mrs. Morrison, a certified Kindergarten teacher, to see if he is ready to move to the 1st grade. She said Ephraim passed with flying colors and that if he were in her class, she would move him forward without hesitation.  Ephraim was so proud of himself today and he should be.  He worked hard all year and took his studies very seriously.

I feel relieved that I didn’t “mess him up” because I really have his best interest in mind.

What made it worthwhile, or I should say I saw the fruit of my labors when I found Ephraim reading a book to his little brother Jeremiah.  My heart just melted and beamed with pride :-D.  Ephraim was putting everything he learned to good use.
