If Only He Knew

Tonight was the Open House at Spencer's new school for registration and bringing in school supplies. I am sure I am an odd duck here but I was excited to do this and have been waiting anxiously all week. I picked out Spencer's new supplies with great care and thought. I enjoyed every moment including writing a check for his first months lunch fee. I ordered a Diego and baby jaguar paint smock on eBay last night. I put Batman stickers on his pencil case and wrote his name on his Elmo backpack. Does Spencer care even one iota that I did this? Nope. Did I savor each moment and skip around the house anyway? You bet your sweet bottom I did!

I am thrilled and happy for Spencer to start Kindergarten next week. I am still in a slight daze that he is already old enough to go to school. How did the years go by so fast???

Spencer, if he understood, would be equally thrilled to be starting school again. I don't often think of the "I wish" scenarios when it comes to Spencer. I don't feel it's healthy to wish for impossible and unobtainable things. While I do wish life in general would be easier for Spencer, I love him just the way he is. He could be Spencer no other way...

This might be an issue. Let's be real; I have trouble following these rules on a daily basis!


That's my boy. Beeline to the toy box.

Two of Spencer's favorite things. Balls and mirrors. They may need to set up class in the bathroom as they will have a hard time keeping him out of it!
