The question he and I have both been getting is "Are you ready for kindergarten?".
The supplies are bought. The back pack is labeled. The lunch is packed. The clothes are lain out. The alarm is set. The not-so-little guy is bathed and sleeping away.
And yet...
How is it possible to be so very excited but so completely anxious? In my gut I know that he will do well and absolutely love it. He's a social bug and makes friends easily. He's a pretty quick learner and is a little ahead of the game academically. But the mom in me has these nagging worries... will the older kids pick on him? Will he get lost? Will he mind his manners? Will he listen and obey? Will he wash his hands after he goes to the bathroom?
I have had the privilege of being his mom, his teacher, his friend, and silly playmate by his side every day these last 5 1/2 years. I count each of those days as such a blessing! I just love that little guy to pieces!
I can't believe this day is finally (almost) here.

Praying for you both this morning. He will love it - and you will too (after you get used to the idea!). Someone shared this with me last year when Ethan started- hope it encourages you too...“Entrust your loved ones to Me; release them into My protective care. They are much safer with Me than in your clinging hands…When you release loved ones to Me, you are free to cling to My hand. As you entrust others into My care, I am free to shower blessings on them. My Presence will go with them wherever they go, and I will give them rest. This same Presence stays with you, as you relax and place your trust in Me. Watch to see what I will do. (based on Genesis 22:9-12, Ephesians 3:20 and Exodus 3:12)”~Sarah Young, Jesus Calling
Thanks Shannon! What great encouragement from the Word. :)
