Conner the Kindergartner! This little man does EVERYTHING his own way, always has. So when he ended up being hospitalized over Labor Day weekend & discharged the day before his first day of school, we certainly weren't surprised. Life is just so random for him & yet he rolls with every punch like a pro. His little body just couldn't fight a nasty case of pneumonia the week before which then triggered his asthma that had been virtually under complete control without meds just shy of 2 years. After 2.5 almost 3 days on oxygen he finally pulled out of in time. Thankfully his first day was short with only a couple hours of open house and meet-n-greet with his teacher. Then back home for some more much needed rest.
Nothing was going to keep him from this day, he's been waiting all summer to be a Kindergartner and see all his friends from Kids Play again. Nervousness was no where to be found, cool as a cucumber he marched right in! We have to tip our hats & give profound thanks to the amazing Kids Play teacher, Kathy, that preps her students so extremely well for this. She has been an amazing mentor & a huge part of Conner's preparation! We didn't even get a hug he was so ready to run inside & get started!
Prayers that you too love learning, that you look upon these years with eyes wide open, ears ready to absorb, & a strong arm ready to shoot up & participate! Tears of our last child entering the school system weren't flowing that day, just an enormous & unimaginable sense of pride for what he can & will accomplish! Wish you could have felt the level of excitement in his little body that day! Love you so much Conner!!!!
