Will I really be walking my 4 1/2 year old into a big school tomorrow for his first day?
The funny thing is, I have no qualms about leaving him there. I got such good vibes on open school night and he is so excited about it that I think it will be fantastic.
I am just reflecting about all that it represents. It represents his first journey of what will be at least 14 years of schooling (if you include this one). It reminds me that he is eligible for this program because of the delays that he has, and it makes me prayerful that he will overcome them. It makes me realize that this is the first step in really letting go and letting him continue to grow into the wonderful kid that he is and is destined to be.
So I am allowing myself to indulge in him and all of the wonderful things about him. I laugh about Mallory and how badly she will want to go with her "bubbas" because she wants to do everything, absolutely everything, that he does. I look at the two of them and realize just how blessed we are. And I will be the one losing sleep tonight.
