One week

One more week of summer vacation for Reilly and two more weeks for Braedon. I have mixed emotions on this one. I'm excited for them to start school and sad our time together will be coming to a close. Days of slowly getting up and dressed, watching the Disney channel, taking a walk, going to the dog park, going to Winco, heading to play at the park, playing in the mud and water...I've enjoyed it all.

What I have really loved is the snuggle time with each of my boys. Reilly is not one for affection and love, but over the past few weeks he has really become a snuggle bug with his mother. I hold him close and we laugh and sing one song, Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the baby bedbugs bite. It's a real winner of a song, but Reilly can say all the words.

Reilly starts school on the 23rd and Braedon on the 29th. I'm really nervous, scared, and excited for Braedon to start Kindergarten. I have no idea what the future will hold for him. He has a ton of struggles ahead of him, but he has got such a strong support system behind him.

Will he be able to communicate with his teachers? Other students? Will he be able to learn at the pace of the other children? Will he come out of the bathroom naked? Will he be able to put his shoes on by himself? Will he make friends? Will he be able to integrate into a mainstream classroom with ease? Will he be bullied? Will he be scared and unable to ask for help? Will I ever stop with all my questions?

What I do know if he is loved. Loved by so many people. He is a wonderful little boy with the biggest heart. He's not nervous. He's not scared....just his mom. Go figure.
