Isaac started school!!

Man, this boy is one handsome boy.

My sweet Isaac started kindergarten today. Amazing. I was so nervous for him--and so excited for him as well. He was excited too. He told me he would wake me up in the morning so we wouldn't be late--he is an early bird! I was awake already when he came in this morning and he was just beaming. Will still has two more weeks before his school starts and I'm actually happy that Isaac got to start earlier than Will because I think it makes Isaac's special day even more special. I'm glad that Isaac gets to have his moment where we all get to focus our attention on his important day.

We went in to talk to his teacher last week so we could tell her what happened and have her be aware of the situation. She seems like she will be such a great teacher. She asked me to bring him in on Monday so she spend some extra time with him and show him the class and get to know him. She told him that he was going to be her special helper today and I think that made him really happy.

I wasn't sure what to do about the full day kindergarten at Will's school and prayed and fasted about what to do--do I hold him back? send him to full day anyway? homeschool? It was a miracle that I found this charter school that had half day that had openings still. Now I see that it was another tender mercy because I can't imagine being home with just me and Eli for the next two years. It would be awfully lonely for us both. Now we have another year together for at least a few hours before I have to let go of my babies. I need them near me right now.
