Pre-K

mr bracky boy started his last year of pre-school.
he is going to riverstone public pre-school.
new situations are hard for bracky,
him and i are very similar.
so i was just as nervous for him as he was for himself.
 he was so very excited in the morning,
we dropped makai off and he was still excited to go.
as we pulled up and parked the car
i could see that reality was setting in for him.
we walked in together
and he got slower and slower.
his hand gripped tighter.
we signed him in, put his hat in his locker
(which he gets to share with his cousin he was pretty excited),
put his lunchbox and water bottle away.
his little eyes and mind were trying to take everything in.
i looked at him trying to be brave.
braxton is an inward feeler but i totally get him.
i gave him a big hug and then tears filled his eyes,
tears filled my eyes.
we had to walk out to put his bag away to compose ourselves.
this little boy is so tender he takes the weight of the world on his shoulders.
he is shy.
(those of you that know brax wouldn't believe it.)
but once he feels comfortable you can never get this boy to shut up !
