coffee and kleenex (a.k.a. - the first day of Kindergarten)

He looks all smiley and excited, but there were some tears and lots of nervousness too...


You see, he is starting Kindergarten and everything this year is new and different for him...

Beginnings are always new and exciting, but sometimes scary too. I'm praying for him all day ~that he remembers I am not far away, that he finds comfort in the new routines, that he keep his mind open to learning and his heart open to new friendships...

and I am praying for my heart as well, as I learn to let go, that I trust that he is okay, that I know that God is with him everywhere.
