The lad is back in school for the first time after a – if memory serves – 5 year hiatus. I have attached the qualifier “if memory serves” because I think for matters of self preservation I have blocked out many of those years gone by.
That being said I have posted a picture of my beautiful boy around the time of his first day of school in the summer of 1996 and his return to school as a sophomore in March 2009.
After many years of home schooling and recuperation from shattered spirits from our previous experiences, we ventured back into the world of the public school education system last year at this time. Brendan returned to speech therapy and occupational therapy. He is developmentally ready to move forward. So while we have been thinking about this for a while, between the time of our initial visit to the school, Brendan’s two hour follow-up visit, to the start of school today, things have moved swiftly. Truth be told, a little too swiftly for this PIM, but I know Brendan is in good hands.
His new bus driver, George, picked him up this morning at 7:15am and will deliver him home later today.
Here is his new home away from home... http://www.sldc.net/Home.asp
This changes our family schedule quite a bit, but everything happens for a reason. Adjustments are part of life.
Happy learning, Brendan. You always grace those around you with your infectious smile and spirit. PIM is now reaching for her box of Kleenex and is in search of some chocolate.
The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.

Oh my gosh...how wonderful and how fast!
Will he attend 5 days a week?
*sniff*sniff* It's ok, PIM. Your baby is growed up a little - lol! Can't wait to hear how his first day went!
What a smile! That boy can light up a room, can't he? I'm anxious to hear about the first day as well.
Thank you for the picture of his first day of school along with today's picture. Oh my goodness what an adorable little boy he was and has turned into such a handsome young man!
Thank you, ladies!
