I just couldn’t sleep
I tossed and turned all night long
So tired the next day
He was up early
So excited about his
First day of preschool
Butterflies fluttered
About inside my stomach
I could barely eat
He told us to leave
Quite content to play around
In his new classroom
I had to take an
Anti-anxiety pill
Just to make it through
He had so much fun
He didn’t want to leave when
It was time to go
Still, I’m happy that
He enjoyed himself so much
And wants to go back
That’s me: Christina Gleason. I’m a writer, editor, and disability advocate. I'm a multiply disabled autistic lady doing my best in this world built for abled people. I’m a geek for grammar, fantasy, and casual gaming. I hate vegetables. I cannot reliably speak, so I’ll happily conduct business over email or messaging instead.
Oh, he’s going through a tough phase for us Moms. The pulling away never gets easier… Hugs to you. I still get emotional when my kids start a new grade.
