New beginnings....new freedom

New freedom...........I came home from dropping my oldest son at school and found Stephen looking through the phonebook for daycare centers. Stephen had brought up the subject about daycare for my youngest many times, but I had tried to avoid it. I thought, "Well, maybe a little later in the year." Well, Stephen had called several daycares. I told him there was one he might check. We had looked at it before when my oldest was 4. He called, and they had an opening. He said, "Well, let's just go visit." We, my youngest, Stephen, and I, got in the car and went to visit this daycare. We looked around and immediately my youngest took off to play with the other children. He didn't want to leave. We were talking to the staff, and Stephen asked when my youngest could start daycare. They said, "Well, he can stay now." Stephen said, "Ok." So, this past Monday, I had to say, "Good Bye" to my baby and say "Hello" to a preschooler. It was a hard step to take, but I believe it will be good for both of us. I might be able to keep my house clean now.

New Beginnings....My oldest child has been having issues at school. We have done everything that we could think of to help "guide" him. Well, I finally bit the bullet and took him to his pediatrician to be placed on medication. I have to say it is working well so far. He was having a horrible time with shouting out during class and with his handwriting. Yesterday, when I picked him up from school, his teacher came to the car and was telling me how amazed she was with the difference the day's events had taken place. She asked, "Can it work that fast?" It was truly amazing and wonderful to see all of those silly, little stickers on a piece of paper that a few days ago brought me so much greif, but, yesterday, it brought me so much joy! Praise God for what He is doing!
