It is now December and it's been pretty much the same every day. He absolutely LOVES this place. The workers here are AMAZING!! They love my kid and take care of him as if he is one of their own. I can't say enough about how wonderful, awesome, amazing, magnificent this place is. They have taken him on trips around the world where he got to taste and experience different cultures, he's made so many wonderful friends, and his speech has literally exploded since he started. So for that Thank You!! You can't know how much you have touched our family and we will forever be thankful for what you have done and are doing for Garrett!!
For 4 years I've been the main caregiver for Garrett. Today he starts a new adventure at Wilma Valentine Childcare Center. Garrett has a speech delay and we think that he will thrive in a setting like this listening to the other kids and picking up on their words. So today I take him to his new adventure. Please lord let these women love him as much as I do and take care of him. Please keep him safe!! Please let him make friends and be loving and caring to the other kids. I have so many worries, how are they going to know......what if they don't......what if they do......what if he doesn't.....ugh!! In the end it was like a bandaid. I just needed to pull it off and trust that this was the right thing for him. So here he is, taking the first picture of his first day at daycare. I don't think he minds at all :) I took him in, dropped him off, he turned around said bye and off he went. No crying, no tears, just a Mom I've got this. I'm good :) OK, Kathy you can breathe now, LOL. I went to pick him up around 4:00 and he had a great day!! It is now December and it's been pretty much the same every day. He absolutely LOVES this place. The workers here are AMAZING!! They love my kid and take care of him as if he is one of their own. I can't say enough about how wonderful, awesome, amazing, magnificent this place is. They have taken him on trips around the world where he got to taste and experience different cultures, he's made so many wonderful friends, and his speech has literally exploded since he started. So for that Thank You!! You can't know how much you have touched our family and we will forever be thankful for what you have done and are doing for Garrett!! The next day he starts at Shelby Hills Preschool. It is right next door to the daycare and they take the kids there in the morning. His teachers are Miss Katelyn and Miss Jill. His teacher for speech is Miss Maria. He goes from 9 am in the morning to 11:30 and then he heads back to Daycare. He's pretty excited about learning and being with the kids in his class and we are looking forward to seeing how well the school year goes. I'd say his first day was a huge success!! Now that it's December I can honestly say putting him in daycare and preschool was the best decision we have made for Garrett. His speech is so much better, and he continues to learn new things every day. He can now draw a circle and he is working hard on writing his name and tracing. We see so much improvement in how he is doing and I have absolutely loved seeing him grow. We can't wait to see how much more he improves as we continue on through the rest of the school year!!
