And in fact, it's been so great that she's going to transition out next year.
So that's scary to think about in itself.
And that's safe for another day.
But I guess that's the point of all of this is that she's at the point now where she has confidence in her abilities.
She advocated this change herself by knowing who she is as a learner, what she needs to be successful, what she can do when she runs up against the wall.
helped her every step of the way at every age appropriate stage, develop those things.
And what more could we possibly ask for, right.
To help her become independent and,
with those things.

So she, you know, went to a Montessori school there in Brazil, which was, you know, what we had been doing for preschool here in Seattle.
So we thought, okay, well, that's going to be at least kind of consistent.
You know, we knew, oh, it's going to be a change, you know, whatever.
She's always been sensitive, you know, and I don't when I look back now, I don't think I realized at that time the degree to which she was,
sensory wise.
Now I'm like, oh, why didn't I just get it?
But anyway, but when she was in Brazil, a lot of things started coming up.
She had a really tough adjustment.
And I don't think it was just the language, although now knowing what I know, I mean, if you think it's tough to kind of process your own language, imagine then being barraged with another language.
