Another School Year has Begun

Well.
We have gotten through the first week of Nick's last year of pre-school without incident. He is a little upset that his "girls" aren't in his class this year. Luckily his best friend Pedro is so everything is ducky :P

As Nick starts his final year of pre-school and prepares to go into mainstream public school I find myself marvelling at his progress over the last 4 years. I was looking at a picture of him in NICU the other day. Tubes everywhere, looking so fragile and then I see him now taking on the world and I think If only we could have seen a fraction of what he would be capable of we wouldn't have been quite as terrified.

I see our family and friends who have welcomed Nick and accepted him with nothing but love and wonder and I am so grateful and feel so fortunate to have the family and friends that we do. Without all of your support, we never would have gotten through even the first year without falling apart.

As amazed as I am at Nick's progress and his capabilities, I can't help but be a little nervous about him starting kindergarten next year. I know that the administrators and teachers will help ease the transition so I am trying mightily to just cross that bridge when we come to it and enjoy his last year at his wonderful pre-school. We are so lucky that he is able to go there and continue to be amazed at everything he has learned and how far he has come since he started. I am sure that Nick will continue to amaze us every day!

That's all for now! Thank you for reading!
