It's so hard. You do want to shelter your little one from anything that might be painful. But that is not reality. I considered just doing a home school preschool program, but it would have nothing like the experience he is going to receive in this program. Speech therapy and daily sensory integration. Not to mention all the wonderful daily planned activities and great opportunity for great socialization. It was not at all realistic for me to think I could give him everything he needed. But I had to just come to grips with that. Just like pretty much everything else so far on this journey. Thanks you guys!!! Love, Jen Thanks everyone for your support! It’s so hard.

I struggled with that decision back in September with brooklyn. I am proud that you were able to realize that this is the right thing for him. It's hard as a parent, and especially as a parent of a special angel. Our natural instincts as moms is to protect. Brooklyn has done amazingly well, and Luke will too. Stay strong Jen,

Last night when Luke called and I said you are going to school tomorrow, you are a big boy he said I am a big boy. Today he was a brave big boy! So were you and Paul! What beautiful pictures. My Grandmother (Nannie) told me when Paul was born "When you have children you love them totally, but when you have Grandchildren your heart feels you couldn't love anymore, but when you have Great Grandchildren your heart bursts from all the love you feel." Today I am at the second stage and my heart couldn't love anymore than now. I am looking forward to stage three! I am so proud of you,Paul,Preston and Lily.

I'm so happy that he had such a great first day! That's been a decision that's been weighing on mind very heavily as well (planning on homeschooling, but since we're still not really sure what all is going on, maybe preschool would be best. Although he wouldn't be able to start until next fall ('10), so a moot point at the moment). Anyways, LOVE that photo of him and Daddy. <3 How exciting!! I’m so happy that he had such a great first day!

I am so glad to hear that Luke had such a wonderful first day at pre-school and that he is so EXCITED about it :) You must be such a proud Mommy. Sometimes it is hard to remember that we can't always be there for them, and that they really need to learn how to stand on their own two feet. This is the hand that our boys have been dealt, and you know what, they don't know any different! We do, so it seems so much more difficult to us than it does to them. So happy for you guys! And so nice to hear that Paul could go too, I know you were sad that he might not be there for such a big milestone for Luke. Go Luke! <3 Oh Jen, that is WONDERFUL!!!!
