I spent the entire day cleaning and prepping the 'school' room for the new academic year. I wanted Timmy to have a completely fresh start in a new space curated especially for him. It took me all afternoon, but I am proud of the results and excited for him to use it in the coming months. This is the first time has a completely decorated room just for school, and I think he is going to love the autonomy!
Unfortunately, the desk that I needed for his room was still in the basement. Undeterred, I set out to move the it myself. Timmy, eager to help, asked what he could do to assist. I asked him to help me steer the desk as I pull it up the stairs. It took me about 30 seconds to realize that Timmy had misheard me. Instead of steering the desk, he set out to cheer me on. He began to clap, laud praise and encouragement as he watched me schlep his desk up two flights of stairs. He was the best little cheerleader, offering the highest praise as being "almost as strong as Aunt Sheri."
Today Timmy begins his new academic adventure. The teachers and many classmates remain the same, but the technology and the name of the school have changed. He is nervous but I know that he is going to thrive. Out of all of our 'first days' so far, this one has me the least stressed.
While I'm not worried about Timmy or Robby, my heart continues to hurt for Scott. He is absolutely miserable at his job. We haven't heard about the other positions, so we are trying to remain optimistic.
Fingers crossed!
