Today Jackson started school at Brown School Elementary in the ECDD room (Early Childhood Developmentally Delayed). We have been trying to get Jackson into Brown School, which is located in St Joseph, instead of sending him to Niles (which is about 20 minutes away). Finally, we got him in after agreeing to start him now instead of waiting until after his third birthday in December since they do not like to take kids during the middle of the school year.
Jackson did great on his first day and I was greeted with a big smile when I came to pick him up, although he was beat and slept for 4 hours this afternoon. I was a little apprehensive and just kept wondering if I really was doing the right thing. He just seems so little and ever since he has been born I feel like I have been trying to protect him and keep him healthy and safe, so for me it was a little difficult to send him off to school. However, now that the first day is behind us I am sure that it will get easier. Eric and I are really proud of Jackson and all of the accomplishments that he has made.
All ready for his first day
