Made It!!

We made it through our first week of school at New Deal Elementary. Colby did wonderful...better than I thought. He was very tired in the evenings, and he did not enjoy getting out of bed in the mornings, but we made it (on time) everyday. He said that it is a lot of work and not enough play time. I think that as soon he gets the hang of things, it will be much easier. I am SO proud of him. He is a sweet boy and a good friend. Maddy has done better than I thought, as well. She asks for Colby during the day, but she doesn't walk around all day looking for him. She wants to stay with Colby when we drop him off, but we try to stay busy during the day. We will have to see what the second week holds for us. I will try to post some pictures of our first day.

2 Weeks 2 Go

I have a little less than 2 weeks before Colby starts school. AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I am nervous, sick at my stomach, and very emotional. I don't want my baby going to school. I want him home with me. He will be going to New Deal from 7:45am-3:45pm. That is TOOOOO long. He is excited and nervous. I am being very supportive and acting very excited. We talk about it daily and dream about what it s going to be like. Maddy is going to have a time with him being gone. She loves her brother, and she follows him around constanty. I feel like I did before we had our foster children and Maddy. What is life going to be like? It will never be the same. There are certainly worse things in life. It is hard to believe that he is already old enough to start his educational journey. My baby...all grown up. Please pray for us as we make this transition. I know it will all work out, but we have to make it past the unknown. I don't handle change very well so this will be an adjustment. Pray for the teachers, administration, staff, and his new friends.
