First Day of Preschool--Take 2

Here is my big guy on his first day of preschool...again.

Doesn't he look so big and grown up.
So you might be asking...first day of preschool again?
To make a long and emotional story short, things were not going well for Cameron or for Tor and I where he started. It was not a good fit and he simply was not experiencing what school should be. Now we have peace and assurance beyond any doubt that he will now know what it's like to learn, play, explore and enjoy school. He is now attending Hudsonville Christian Preschool 2 days a week for 2 and a 1/2 hours. My heart and mind are so much more at peace and I can say I am now truly excited for him to be at school.
I have learned more about my first born and being a first time parent sending their child to school in the past month than I ever expected. Cameron has more insight into people than I gave him credit for; he knows more about himself than what I thought a little 4 and a half year old could; his desire to learn is greater than I expected and sometimes, yes at not even 5, he knows what he needs more than his mom and dad who thought they had it all planned out. Actually, God knew, too. And now I know His voice a little clearer and what that feels like. Like I said on my first post, Cameron is fine. He figured it out. I just had to listen.

  1. Thank you so much for the update. I do have to ask though. "What's up with those tatoos?" Is ear piercing next? I'll need to talk with him. On a more serious note, he looks so happy in this picture and there's a good reason why. He's not the only one who is learning and it will never be easy to "let go". I'm glad I can be his grampa and I also know how blessed I am to be your dad.
