I let the kids play at the park after school today. Isaac had fun running around with his buddy Jake, and with Thomas, who's in his class and is pictured here with Isaac:

To be honest, I was a little worried about how Isaac would do in kindergarten. His speech isn't the greatest, and I worried he'd have trouble as a result. Would he fit in? Would he make friends? Would he learn and be happy and grow in positive ways?

Although I still worry about my sensitive boy, I know the answer to those questions is yes. And watching him run and play and have fun with his friends this afternoon --and overhearing Thomas tell him wait! We have to do our secret handshake! before we left-- served as excellent confirmation.
