Well, here we go again. It's the start of a new school year...They seem to go faster and faster as we approach Junior High. Does anyone know how to slow down time?
I love having Darren at home, he keeps me company and makes me smile (drives me crazy too sometimes) but I feel a lot of peace when he's around and I know he's safe.
We had a great Summer together (even though I was sick for a couple of weeks). We made it to the swimming pool, Lagoon, the Dinosaur Park, the Hogle Zoo, Boondocks, Toads, Park City, the Planetarium, the movies, walking Charlie, parades, LOTS of fun playdates with his good friend Ryker and LOTS of video games. Yes, we even had those days when he didn't change his pajamas until noon and we didn't care to make his bed :)
But now the time has come for a much needed routine and new adventures.
I'm really confident that this year will be a good one for him. We will miss Mrs. Chugg, she did a fantastic job with him but I trust that he was able to develop new skills that will make 4th grade a good one. He has a lot of familiar faces in his classroom and I'm thrilled about that.
My wish for Darren is that he remembers to believe in himself when things get tough. I want him to know that he doesn't need to be like the other kids... I don't want him to be like the others. He has a bright future ahead of him because he IS different and I will always love him because of that.
