The school counselor thought it would be a good idea if Jax came and said goodbye to his teacher and classmates. So we decided what better way than to bake cupcakes for everyone!
I'm glad he went back and talked with his classmates because there were several rumors as to why Jaxson was leaving and by doing this, he was able to tell everyone the truth. Some kids thought he was going to DYC which is the youth correctional facility here in town, some thought he was moving or going to a private school. After he set the record straight about where he was going to school, he told everyone that he wasn't going away for good but that he would be back his 7th. or 8th. grade year.
Looking back after that day, I realized the "goodbye" was more for the kids in his class than Jaxson himself. So many kids just up and leave and the kids in the class are left to speculation and rumors, at least with Jaxson going back and saying goodbye they were able to see first hand that he was actually doing well and that he just wasn't going to disappear never to be heard from again. I definitely think it was a great way to bring closer to this chapter in Jaxson's life.
I was wondering what the decision would be. Am....we only have them for a short time. I'm glad you are doing what you feel is best for yer baby!
