Some days I wished it would come sooner, but also relished the slow days of summer.
Hannah started school.
This year she is going full day, which is hard on this mamas’ heart. She leaves the house around 8am and doesn’t return until 4:45! 😳
It’s long.
Her first couple of days were rocky. I don’t know if it was the new environment, new routine or a combination of a lot of things, but when it came to rest time Hannah would not sit down.
She wanted to play, wake up her sleeping classmates, you name it. By the end of the second day (Friday) her teacher called me to ask for suggestions. This day was particularly hard.
I gave a few, but I was basically at a loss, this girl hasn’t napped in over a year. I had nothing.
But I prayed and talked with Hannah about what to do when her Elsa and Anna blanket came out at rest time.
And you know what?
On Monday she laid down and went to sleep.
Praise Jesus.
Since she had PT Monday morning, I was able to take her to class, and she was so excited to be there.
She really is such a sweet child and endears herself to people. When she likes you, you know it.
The remainder of this week has gone well and she has come home with a smile on her face and a never-ending hug for me every day.
I miss my big girl so much during the day but I do believe she’s in a school that will give her the most benefit.
I pray that this time away will increase her language and understanding and after these two years of driving and being apart for so long during the day we will look back and see how the sacrifice was worth it.
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Deuteronomy 31:8
