First school day for Jackson...

 Jackson has been with us for quite a long time. It took also a long time for him to stabilize, he was sick and every time high fevers... It took a numbers of doctors visits to figure out what was the problem. But now he is stable and doing well, only his relatives are not able to care for him, so he is still with us. He loves to play with other children and with the puppies!!! We were looking into bringing him to the nursery school, but due to the potty training, we delayed.
 But today was the big day.... I brought Jackson to school. He got his sports uniform and on this picture he is with teacher Susan, the Head Mistress of the Harmony Nursery school. Jackson is a bit scared, but he walked with her to the class where all the children gather in the morning for Bible time...
 And that was just a bit too much.... So Teacher Susan took him out again, it was a bit overwhelming..
Teacher Francis took him over and he just waved to me and walked into school! I just saw him coming back, very proud and smiling. I called Teacher Susan and she told me that he did fine!! So Jackson has started his first step on the road of Education, many more steps to go...I am curious where he will end up...
