Our next goodbyes came at our Early Childhood Family Education class, otherwise known as ECFE. We have been a part of the ECFE family for 9 years. The ECFE staff has been a tremendous gift to our family. I have learned so much and my kids have been nurtured and educated by some amazing teachers.
My first introduction to ECFE was when these two wonderful ladies from Early Childhood Special Education came to our house to help ease our concerns about Cooper's developmental delay in crawling and walking. They told me about parenting classes and well, the rest is history.
At ECFE, I met the one and only Katy Smith and Barbi Bell. Thanks to Barbi, Cooper learned to cope with his social anxiety and today is quite a conversationalist. Thanks to Katy, I have learned to cope with challenges as a parent and often get through trials by asking myself, "WWKS?" (What would Katy say?)
Katy has been in Cam's life since the day he was born. It has been a great joy to call her teacher and friend.
Here are the 3 students, but here is...
...the graduate! I finally graduated from ECFE. I was no valedictorian but I may have top 10 honors in the class clown category. Thanks for being a lighthouse in my life. (Please note that only one of us has considerably grayer hair.)
