It is Preschool DAY 2 and this little man knows EXACTLY where he is going!

I am so glad I listened to his daddy Ryan Hanson and agreed to send him to school this year. There was a while where I was afraid to send him back to school. Because of all the germs and bugs and I was just scared. I was considering switching to homebound school services where the teachers all come to the house. Only because I didn't want him to get sick or end up back in the hospital.

But dad told me "NO WAY can you take school away from him! It is one of the only things he has left! He doesn't want to sit in the house all day" and I said "But what if he gets sick?! 🥺" and Ryan's response was "Then he gets sick doing what he loves!! We can't take that away from him"

And that was the end of it. Dallas is going to school because it is what he loves. And because I had Ryan there to remind not to prioritize MY fears over Dallas' happiness. As a medical mom, I tend to do that sometimes. I am so thankful I have Ryan to balance it out. He is my voice of reason.

Now look at these smiles! I think it was the right choice 🥰

Today was Dallas' FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 🥰
He is still in preschool (his 3rd year now) but this year he has a new teacher and a new PARA! But we love EVERYONE at his school. They are so good to him there 💙

He had a great day and gave them lots of smiles! But towards the end of his school day he decided that they made him wake up way too early! And he needed to catch up on his beauty rest!

Dallas takes his beauty rest VERY seriously. He won't let anything come between him and his handsomeness 😂

By the time he got home he was awake and happy and excited to tell me all about it 🥰

Dallas' setup was perfect. He got to make it through every aisle in the HayDays swap meet!

More often than anyone thinks, I receive evil comments and messages from people that are either unaware, ignorant, or just plain cruel and unkind.

Things like.... I am a horrible person for keeping him alive, he will always suffer, why send him to school if he can't even learn anything?

Just stuff that nobody has ANY business saying if they have never been in this situation. It is hard enough as it is to find out at 7 months old that your child is not going to live for the rest of your lifetime. And as a parent, you can't help but to begin to prepare for the death of your child. Mentally, emotionally, realistically just trying to figure out how you will EVER survive that inevitable day.

But this... this right here is PROOF that he does not suffer. He DESERVES to go to school just like any other kid. He is HAPPY and LOVES his life... even if it isn't like yours.

So screw you!!! He means more to the world than you ever will. And I will never EVER deny him the life that god gave him because you dont think it's good enough.

Dallas and Emma both got to meet their teachers today!! Emma starts her first day of 6th grade Tomorrow! And Dallas starts his 3rd year of Preschool on Tuesday next week! Dallas had soooo much fun strolling up and down school halls. He was the center of everyone's attention and he KNEW it lol.

Emma likes her teachers and has her locker code 100% down! She also got all of her locker decor where she wants it (the girl even has a RUG for her locker 🤣🤣)

Oh and yesterday we went and got our nails done together. Dallas even came along. He seemed to enjoy all the different smells and drilling sounds!

Back to School season is upon us! And I hope all of my fellow moms and dads out there are surviving 😅
