Willie is Back in School!

Willie has returned to school after over a year. It’s a real school, unlike the program he was attending for 2 hours a day, which had 40 minutes of travel time. I have prayed and hoped for him to return to the stability of school. I recently saw Willie and asked him if he likes the school and the teachers, and he answered, “Yes.” His mom sent me pictures of his morning routine.

A good stretch gets the morning started.
Today, Willie starts with a banana. The little tag goes first. My heart aches at the scars from his self injuries.
The waffles must be broken down, or he could choke on big pieces. Willie gobbles down his food as if afraid it will disappear mid-meal.
Water at every meal.
It’s time to choose his shoes for the day.
Outside pacing, waiting for his bus. Nike is the shoe choice of the day. Have a good one, Willie, I love you.
