Tayven started Kindergarten a week ago. In the parking lot on the way to class, he whispered to me nervously, "mom... I am so excited". Dax had a hard time moving away from the class as we waved good-bye. We fought back tears as he stood in line and walked into the room. I managed to keep myself together... but only until I got to the car and cried hard... really hard. I can't believe this day is here! It is a blessing to know he has been happily enjoying his class, his teacher Mrs. Hyatt and his buddy Drew ever since. We are excited and sad all at once. We pray that the Lord finds us faithful as we parent him through the public school system. This is a great opportunity for us to be plugged into our community- something we've been craving for a long time. Although its a temptation to want to keep Tayven close and protected, we are loving and anticipating more opportunity to talk to him about the world around him; teaching him how to grow, respond to others, learn with distractions around him, inneract with other children, submit to new authorities, etc. We hope pray that this is all done to the glory of God!
