Jarom has officially introduced me into a new phase of life. The School Phase. The phase filled with backpacks, books, homework, adventures and fun. As we were driving to school the first day Jarom told me, "my tummy feels funny, but I'm REALLY excited about school." I asked him if he was nervous and after a moment of thought he replied, "I don't know what that feels like, but I'm probably a little nervous.... and excited."
The truth is, after 3 weeks of school he still LOVES it! He is learning so much and has so much fun telling me everything that he does. I wish I could be a fly on the wall and watch him at school. Maybe it is because I worry about him and everything that I can no longer protect him from. I feel like I'm losing control of everything that I once believed I had control over; knowing that what he learns at home is no longer everything he learns, and that there are 17 1/2 hours every week that he is learning without me.
I love this kid! And I love how he has changed my life, over and over and over again.
