First Day of School, Take Two!

So in my last post, I went on and on trying to justify why we had decided to send Kensie to a non-Christian preschool. After just two days, I could no longer convince myself that we had made the right decision. I put in a call last Thursday to see if the preschool we had originally intended to send her and the preschool where Sloan attended for two years, might miracuolusly have a spot for Kensie. This is the same preschool where parents line up at 5:00am in the Spring to guarantee a spot. By His mercy and grace, they indeed had an opening for Kensie on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Apparently, several kiddos didn't get potty-trained on time. Today was Kensie's second, first day of school!

Kensington did brilliantly. Her teachers asked if she had been going to daycare. They were surprised to find that she had not. They said she immediately settled into their routine and schedule. She even got a little award for doing so well on her first day. Unfortunately, my Sloanie is having a bit more trouble adjusting to first grade. Today, I went and helped in his classroom. It's been a bit of a tumultuous start. It is a LONG day that is complicated by his sensory issues. I would appreciate any and all prayers as we help him make the necessary adjustments to make a productive and successful transition.

To end on a positive note, I asked Kensie if she prayed at school today. Tears welled in my eyes as she said, "Yes, Jesus loves me." This was absolute confirmation that after a brief detour, the Lord directed us back to Him. He was waiting for us, arms outstretched, all along.
