Kindergarten Kick Off 2025-2026 season. Team Jeremiah. 👦🏻🍎✏️📓 This morning came quicker than I could have ever prepared my heart for. The house was filled with a bit of chaos—trying to get everything together, making sure your outfit was just right, and feeling the rush of a morning that felt so much bigger than just another school day. But in the end, we did it. Naneé came, Dad came, and we were all there to send you off into this brand-new chapter of your life. Watching you walk into school for the very first time felt surreal. Your little backpack seemed almost too big for your shoulders, yet you carried it with so much pride and confidence. My baby, my pandemic baby, the one I’ve held close through every stage—suddenly taking those big steps away from me and into the world. My heart ached and swelled with pride all at once. I smiled for you, but behind my smile I was holding back tears. It’s hard not to feel the weight of the moments Nick should be here for. Today was one of them. I know he’s watching from above, guiding you, protecting you, and feeling just as proud as I am. I can almost picture him, smiling that familiar smile, his heart full as he watches you take this milestone stride. This day will always be remembered—not just as the first day of kindergarten, but as the day I watched you take your first steps into independence while still feeling surrounded by the love of both worlds: the family standing by your side and the love watching over you from heaven. #firstdayofkindergarten #kindergarten #schooldays #firstdayofschool #covidbabies #pandemicbabies #boymom #millenialmom #proudmom #kindergartenlife #momlife #newmilestoneachieved #2020babies
