'twas the night before kindergarten

so, it's the night before the day that i have been so anxious about for the last few months.  kindergarten starts tomorrow.  eek!  i am officially in panic mode.  even a glass of wine cannot calm me down.  we have been talking up this day to carson all summer long and in true carson form he seems to be ok with it.  he tends to just roll with the punches, so to speak.  me on the other hand, not so much.  my baby is going to kindergarten.  i am a mess.

what can you do to help you ask?  you can pray that his teachers see the genuine goodness this kid has.  it has been in his sweet little soul since the day he was born.  you can pray that all the kids in the school treat him like everyone else and they don't pick on him for being small, walking funny or needing a little extra help once in a while.  they don't know that he has fought every day of his life to grow as big as he is today, to be able to walk and run as well as he does and to not have to ask for as much help as he used to.  this is a whole new world for him, nobody knows who he is.  how amazing he is.  what he has overcome.  how hard he has had to work.

you can also pray that i don't sit and watch the clock tick away, worrying about him.  you better believe that i will be car number one in carpool line tomorrow at 2:40.

i just have to say that we would not be here, as far as we are, without all of you who read this blog.  be it every day or every once in a while.  you all have prayed for my boys and i thank all of you for that.  and now i just ask you pray for a wonderful day at school, everyday till may :)

I am sitting here crying at your post because I know the scary, anxious feeling that wine can't even help!! I will pray for Carson and you tomorrow.

Lots of prayers tomorrow for you & Carson (& Bunny, too)!! How exciting for Carson, though understandably scary for you! You have prepared Carson well, I am sure. Hang in there, Mom! Looking forward to hearing about Carson's special day! God bless you both!
