Week 34 of My Project 52 Photography Challenge: Intense

Week 34 of My Project 52 Photography Challenge: Intense

Well, last week was quite a week. Last week, my baby… my tiny little guy… put on his Spider-Man shoes and his Marvel Comics backpack and headed out of the door… for kindergarten. Seriously, time, please slow down!

For months, he has been saying that he “hates school” and has been working hard on his “plans to cancel school forever”. Unlike most kids, Simon has been in school since he was just over a year old. Having autism, he had to start in the school system a bit earlier than most kids, so that he could get the early intervention he needed to catch up.

Sadly, I think this has taken the excitement out of starting kindergarten for him. After-all, this is the 5th school he has attended in his 5, short years on earth. The novelty has worn off. However, after much anxiety on my part, worrying about how the first day would go, I was delighted when Simon woke up for his first day of school and was “excited because I like school now” and how he couldn’t think of a “better way to spend this beautiful day”. And just like that, my baby was off to kindergarten. Needless to say, it has been an intense week!

The world is at your feet, little buddy! Enjoy every second.
