My 5-year-old just graduated preschool. This means I must enroll my new kindergartener into our school system with her older siblings. I must re-enter her identity into our faulty system to keep track of her records.
I am incredibly proud. She has excelled, so far, in this journey. She’s been above average for a normal child her whole life, even with her challenging beginning.
She was born addicted to fentanyl and cocaine prematurely and spent over 2 weeks in the hospital before entering the same foster home as her brother. She couldn’t even go home with her family.
Most premies enter the world underdeveloped and remain in a deficit for most of their growing stages. This one was a model for normal development for the first 6 months, and then she began exceeding her normal aged peers.
I am truly excited to see where she ends up in 10 years. She is a whole adventure all in herself!
Congratulations, baby girl! 🎓🦄 … you amaze me! ❤️🌈
