Milestones

Well, the day is actually here.  Tomorrow morning marks 7 weeks home and Mack and I will get in the car together at 6:30 am and I will drop him off at the child development center he will attend.  I spent much time looking for just the right place and spent much time in prayer over this.  We have visited and he has participated in the class 5 times.  The kids know him by name as do the teachers.  He is not speaking much English yet it will be exciting to see how he develops in that way as well as so many other ways over the next 15 days of class before we have 2 weeks off for Christmas and New Years.

I can't believe this day is here.  I know in my heart that leaving him in the morning is going to be so hard on both of us.  He does not do well at all with good byes.  I have decided I will tell him I will see him later and that I will be back.  Once he gets over the initial shock of us not being together he is going to love it.

I have to figure out how to prepare for school?!?!  May not be able to do that in the evenings and on weekends anymore but rather actually find a way to use my prep to plan!

I wish I had time to write down all of the ways he has been growing....but to be brief, he is growing, thriving, learning, adjusting, attaching...I am going to sleep early!  Good Night and thanks for your prayers!!!
