The Sweetest Moments

August 13, 2014

Aden,

Hey, little man. Yes, I called you little. You will always be little to me. You will always be my little man, no matter how old you get.

Oh, Aden. You are going to kindergarten. I'm going to miss you during the day. You are going to miss our lunch dates with Taygen. I'm going to miss our reading dates.

You are getting so big. It's hard to believe you are going to kindergarten already. I'm not going to have my little man of the house any more when daddy is at work. Taygen is going to miss her little partner in crime.

I hope you will be okay in school. I will be worried about you. I have been able to keep you safe at home with me, but you are going out into the big world where some kids are just not nice. Some kids are very nice and I hope you find those kids. I hope the teachers are nice to you. I hope they are patient with you. I told your teacher about your stutter and that she should be patient with you. I hope she is. Slow down when you talk, look the teachers in the eye and you will be ok. I hope the kids are nice and patient with you when you can't get your words out. I hope they don't laugh at you. I hope they understand.  I hope you make a lot of friends. I hope the kids are nice to you. I worry about you. You are a follower and I'm afraid that you will follow the wrong kinds of kids. You know the difference between right and wrong. You are also a sweet little boy who will take care of all the girls. :) I hope you are nice to the kids. I know you will be, but when someone isn't nice to you, you fight back. I hope you walk away when someone is mean to you. You are a really neat, polite, wonderful, handsome little man and I think all the kids will really like you.

   Here's a little poem for you..

You Started School Today

While you were walking down the hall

you looked like such a big boy.

As I walked beside you, You looked so tall

I saw the look on your face of excitement, worry, fear, and joy.

 

I looked down and took your hand

as I wiped my tears away.

I hope you understand

You will be with me at the end of the day.

 

I'll give you one more kiss

and you'll be on your way

so you won't miss

me while you play

 

You Started School Today

You might get lonely, but just remember the kiss that I gave you on your cheek (I know, ewww mom!)  and then you can think of me all day. Just like the 'Kissing Hand' book.

I love you, little man. Hope you have a good day.

Here is a passage and a prayer for you to get you through your first day of school and all the other days you might struggle with.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9

Dear God,
Please help Aden through out the day as he might struggle with reading, writing, meeting new friends. I hope his day is filled with joy and new beginnings. God, please keep him safe. Please help the teachers to understand his stuttering and please help the teachers be patient as he tries to talk to them.
Amen!
