The kiddo’s first day of school went good. He didn’t come home in the clothes he left in, but I honestly believe that may have been mostly my bad. So, their schedule has them going straight to nap after going outside. With it being summer in the south, they do get a drink before naptime. Teacher said he tried so hard but just didn’t make it in time. This where my fault comes in. I had a couple of thoughts yesterday morning while getting him ready. I knew I should not have put actual button-up shorts on him, but I did it anyway. Just an FYI, if your mom instinct is telling you something, you should probably listen to it! So today he is wearing his normal elastic band shorts. Here is to hoping he comes home the way he left!

Another thing about him starting school is how worried I was. My son has always been a shy kid. He didn’t really talk much outside the house. About two years ago now, he was evaluated and started going to speech therapy. After about a year he got evaluated for physical and occupational too. I cannot tell you how much it has helped! He is almost like a whole different kid. Now, he walks up and lets them take his temperature, (thank you COVID) and walks right in with the lady taking him to his class. Again, thank you COVID for not letting me walk my own son to his class. But, he does it willingly, and happily! Last year I wanted him to start pre-k so bad because it would cheaper for this mama. But, now I think it was better he didn’t get to go. Sometimes, the things we want to happen the most aren’t what is planned for us.

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”
