Last September, our lives changed. Gideon had been diagnosed with developmental delays that prevented us from returning to our home in Russia. I know that the last 6 months there have been two consistent themes in our lives...waiting and wonder...mixed with many struggles and an over whelming amount of emotions!!!
We had no time to prepare Gideon for Kindergarten, we were not able to research schools, interview teachers, evaluate curriculum and we bought school supplies in October! We had to fully trust the Lord and surrender Gideon into the Lord's hands...and we are sooo glad we did!!! Oklahoma is one of the worst rated states academically, OKC Public Schools has a questionable reputation and a few of Ridgeview's own teacher send their kids to other schools, but Ridgeview has been such a blessing to us!
When Gideon started school, he could not identify all of the numbers, almost no letters, could not write his name and we were told that he may never read. He can now count to 100, write all the numbers and letters and can read!!! Miss Cook is AMAZING!!! Gid loves school and is learning sooo much!!! I am so thankful that this was the Lord's plan for Gid!!!
