Today was the big day. Edison started school where he will go Monday and Friday mornings. This isn't his official preschool, it's just something we decided to start to help with socialization and hopefully his eating and talking.
It was a hard, hard day. I felt so ready. I wasn't ready. I guess you never are. Fortunately his therapist came and so he had a familiar face for some of the time. She said he did really well and was "just so happy". Needless to say I think Edison will adjust more quickly than his mom :)
Ready to go!
Ma helped Edison get settled in.
Checking it all out.
He will climb this mountain as well as he has all of the others. He is my hero.

I've been checking for your update. This will be so good for you both. He looks so happy, but then he always does! Hugs to the mom, because it's always hardest on the parents.
Jen,
Your blog always makes me cry!
You are doing the right thing. Go easy on yourself! He is in a good place and will blossom even more than he already has!
Celebrate that you dropped him off! I will cry with you when my "baby" goes to college at this time next year and you can remind me that it is ok and that I am doing the right thing!

Jen, I know it was hard - but it's going to be wonderful for him!

I thought about you guys all day. I can't imagine how hard it must have been on you today. I am proud of you though. Edison is one lucky kid. I'm sending lots of love your way,

This must have been a special special week for Dinky, Jen and Martin... having Ma, Aunt Dobie there and celebrating Dinky's "first day at school". WOW--- Just think where all have come from the beginning, just 2 1/2 years ago!
I am one proud Pa, and I miss not being there to share, but did with the blog, my new webcam and the calls. Love to all, and Honey, I miss you.

I bet he had a great morning! I think this will be really good for him! Hope to see you guys again soon!
Wow, what a huge day for both of you!!!! Much love,
Monica
