Ok, before I begin I have to state that I love Subway sandwiches, but I hate smelling like the place for the rest of the day!!!!!!!!!!
1. Kinder garden: Just left Powhatan Elementary School: Kinder garden sign ups. I even met his teacher and she seems very nice. Also found out that Nathan Tomlinson will most probably be in his class. I love that. He is sooo sweet and he can help keep Chaytor in line!
But I cried on my way out. And all the way home.....
Last night, my friend Cammie was talking to Chaytor about going to kinder garden next year and Chaytor said "NO! I don't want to get tall, tall, tall". As he says this, he shows height growth with his hand. It was adorable and of course I had to say "oh, yes you will grow up".
Then cried about him growing up today. I don't want him to get tall, tall, tall either.
I don't want the other kids making fun of the way he talks and I don't want the other kids to call him bad names and tease him because he is different.
He doesn't get it. He thinks they think he is funny and he laughs with them.
I hate that...I really hate that. How kids (and adults), heck the human race can be so ugly to others and it scares me that my child will feel that ugliness because he is different. I cry now thinking of how I will have to explain why children can be so mean to a child who just wants to play and be accepted.
Deep Breath
Ok, 2nd thought of the day....I know the ADD is coming out.
Adoption: I think one day, when I'm more together, I would like to adopt a child. Not a baby or toddler, but maybe a elementary or middle school age child. The ones that no one wants because they want a baby....I don't like the baby phase. And maybe a child who can play and grow up with Chaytor...like a brother. And that child can be loved in a christian home and have a family.
And live happily ever after.........or something like that.

I wish I could say I understand...but I do not want to be-little or undermine what you walk through with Chay each day. I do know it from the child end.. I was teased, abused, and just down-right bullied every single day in elementary school because of being the "fat kid." So I can appreciate your horror that someone may mock and/or make fun of your child. All I can say is that you are being the best mom you can...and let's pray for protection and love on Chaytor to be so strong that he will feel THAT way more than he feels the tease of others...the mean ones... the ones who just don't know how much their words can hurt. I love you girl! xoxo
