How is this even possible????
Connor started PreK at age three ( shortly after arriving home). So one might think that Kindergarten would be no big deal. Hes been at this school for 3 years ( the way his birthday falls he missed the cut off to start K last year.) But Ya'll if your a parent then you know that theres something so BIG about Kindergarten.
( This is Connor on his first day of Prek.)

Connor loves school, this will be a new teacher, new aides, and new classroom, but he loves school so I have no doubt that he'll adjust immediately and do great. So its not really a terrible amount of worry or fear in those aspects for us, but still its so hard to fathom that hes already a kindergartener!!!
I hear moms say all the time that their child will always be their baby in their eyes, and its so true. No matter how much I try to come to grasp that next month he'll be 6 years old he remains the same in my heart. In my heart he'll always be that tiny guy I scoped off the orphanage floor. The little man that at three years old only ate pureed foods and amazes me daily the way he eats anything and everything now. The dude that wanted nothing to do with anyone, but me and daddy. Who only babbled and yet now says a couple words clearly. Forever my overcomer. Who has beat odd after odd. Who has stretched and bent with all life has thrown his way and yet never broken. Who through it all remains brave and joyful. My handsome boy who can be summed up in one word as Resilient is now a Kindergartener and my mind knows, but my heart cant seem to catch up and grasp it.
Lord, I pray for this school year for my precious Connor. Help him adjust to his new routine and his love for school continue. Please keep him safe and help him to remain joyful even on the tough days. God, Be with his teacher, aides, and therapist. Show then the best ways to help Connor continue to progress, thrive. and be content. Let him continue to beat the odds and grow and learn more than our minds can comprehend this year, but above all else God make him who you want him to be. Thank you Lord for his life and all that He means to our family. In Jesus name, Amen.
