Grant's First Day of School


Grant started first grade one week late due to a high fever and headaches that turned into a very miserable cold. He was so nervous for school especially knowing that all the kids had started the prior week. He put on a brave face that morning but after I got him situated in his class and left, he started to cry. He was crying so hard that Mrs. Ellinger let him sit out in the hall to collect himself. When I stopped in to see him at lunch, all his classmates let me know that Grant missed me and had cried. His classmates are so loving and kind. They are very protective of Grant because of his allergies and remind their parents often of Grant's allergies! Even after being at school for a month Grant still struggles being there. He would rather be at home. He asks Andy often if I could home school him. Funny he doesn't ask me, probably because he knows he would hear a resounding NO! Pray for my tenderhearted Grant to adjust to his new routine.

That's so hard as a mother. I will pray that things get easier for Grant.I'm sure being sick and not feeling well is a big part of that. I'm sure it will get better. If not, there's always Hawaii!
