I cryed when every child went to school. That is a normal emotion for a Mommy to feel. It gets better and you will come to love your free time. I knew Leon would Love being around others his age.Love your Family!💓
The best gift God gave to Leon was the honor of being your first born. I tell parents of children with different disabilities and challenges to have more kids and give their child siblings to grow with! My parents couldn’t “baby” me and worry about my every single need because they had my two brothers to look after too! I was the middle kid and I learned to push myself past my physical limitations so I could keep up with them. Congratulations two you both for reaching this milestone. Experience tells me this isn’t going to be an easy road but just remember you know better than anyone else what your child is capable of doing so trust your own judgment above all!!
Seeing him well-prepared and excited to go to school is just great. You guys have done a good job! Yes, almost all kids walk through that door, see other kids and don't look back. It's a good! sign.
Once you see how Leon blossoms, you will enjoy the one on one time with Theo and adjust to your "new normal!" Hang in there mama! This is a great thing for everyone!! 🤗♥🤗
I actually got emotional with you watching Leon go off to school. I have a 4 year old going to school next year and it hit me watching this. I'm so glad Leon had a good day and enjoys school! ❤️❤️
I'm so happy it went so well. But we certainly miss them, don't we??? This is a great school for him. If they do all the things they say they can, than it will b all worth it. Remember, u have a ton of us mamas here holding ur hand.
Hi Jody, I'm so glad Mr Leon had a great first day at school, I bet it was hard for you to leave him there,, when my boys first went to school, I waited outside for an hour, in case they changed their minds, as the weeks go on, it will be much easier for you to leave him there, plus with Leon at school, you and John will have more time for each other, well done both of you, you are amazing parents, God bless
You have a beautiful family I’m so glad Leon enjoyed his first day of school, it will take a while to adjust to not having Leon around .Enjoy your one one time with Theo they grow up so fast, you are both great parents 😊
I'm so happy that Leon had a good and happy day at school! 😁👍 I'm so proud of him! As hard as this was Jody, this is the natural progression of Buddy growing up 😉 hang in there! Besides, you'll have that couple of hours time to spend with Theo one on one 😊 God bless family! 🙏 Y'all got this! 💞
Aww Leon is such a big boy I can't believe he's in school now .He's very smart tho hopefully he will learn how to walk and talk soon with his speech therapy and leg therapy .He's going to learn to do so many things like write and read ...Yay Leon your great 💙💙
So glad that everything went well!!! It is a mom sad when you send any of your kiddos to school for the first time, but it is also a different nervous/sad when your kiddo needs extra help. You handled it like a champ! And so proud of Leon on his first day! Thank you for sharing your experiences! And thank you for sharing Leon and Theo’s smiles!!
I’m so glad Leon had a good first day with many more to come❤️ you two are amazing people! I absolutely love that you just keep moving forward and Leon just keep thriving! He’s in SCHOOL! 🥰
How y'all doing? So glad that Leon had a great first day of school! Praying for many more great days of school. Stay strong Ms Jody! I love y'all! I love all the videos!
So glad he had a good day. I figured he would conk out when he got home since he does after therapy. Rough on you Jody as except for your folks, Leon is always with you and John, no babysitters, etc. So you are there for every moment of his life. BTW you may want to give the teachers a note that he needs his banana sliced as you seem to do that for him. They may think he will bite off chunks as he wants them. Pretty soon it will all settle down into a routine for all of you and Leon will be learning so much. Once he is going more fulltime, you may need to pick up a hobby like quilting or embroidery! LOL
Hey John Jody N Family I'm glad Leon had a good day at school and I know it was hard for you and john being the best day with both boys and how he plays with Theo a teddy bear to play with and jump on :) and Leon love how he curls up on the couch after school to nap both of your boys are so amazing n beautiful lots of love :)
Most moms can empathize with your emotions on Leon’s 1st day of school (I remember shedding a few tears) Something about Leon that makes me happy just by seeing him. He has such a contagious smile!
Awe Leon and Theo are so cute I can’t believe Leon had his first day of school! I love them so much they always make my day! My birthday is on Friday so can y’all plz say happy birthday to me?!
Awe, good thing you had Theo to keep you somewhat occupied, if not you would’ve really really really been very sad. Soooo glad mommy and Leon got through it, and he had fun 🤩
Its so hard to let go...but Leon is ready he will bloom now..emotions are normal especially with a special needs child, we tend to hold on as long as we can ❤
I am so glad Leon is going to school.i know it's hard for all momma's especially if we have a special child but we need to make are children feel like everyone else.i hope it works out for leon.unfortuantley it didn't work out for my son and we had to return to home schooling.
Jodi - has Leon EVER been away from you a hole day? Other than maybe with Paw Paw? No wonder you were so emotional. I cried my daughter's preschool FIRST weeks lol. Leon's a champ. He did great. What a great opportunity for him. I started tearing up when u called Paw Paw and told him Leon just ran off to play with a boy with a ball. Poor mama.
I was an emotional wreck when both of mine started school, they’re going into 4th and 2nd grade in august and I still get emotional dropping them off for their first day lol
I'm glad that Leon had fun at school that makes me happy and that you was okay Jody I'm proud of both of you me and Miss Mary loves you so much j&j time
Oh it's always good to have a kid first day it's kind of the toughest but we all get through it but I think it's comical where John and Theo are having a grand old time
It is really hard the first month or so they go to school. Then you will get your new routine and feel better. It would be double hard if the child didn’t want to go. Easton was getting bullied in 3rd grade. He hates going. Once we got that fixed it was good again. So glad he likes it!
It does get easier while he's at school. It's completely normal to feel like that i had a hard time when both my kids started they have the same teacher and both do pt and ot at school along with activities.
Don't feel bad . i cried my eyes out the 1st month my son startd daycare when he was little. He only cried 1 or 2 times when id drop him off.... I cried more than he did....
I think it's so cool how much your kids look alike when they were babies Theo And Odessa really look alike when they were babies. Lay on still favorite now. I haven't seen a baby baby picture of him but they all favor so much. It's so cool that's all cause. I haven't decided which one of us Our son looks like. We only have the one so I can't say He looks like his brother our sister
Leon is so super cute,love his smile!! Such an adorable family,stay cool and God bless🙏🙏💖
I used to cry every year when taking my son to school on the first day of the year. Leon looks so nice, I love his shirt! So glad he had a good day

I know it’s hard but I think it’s a great choice you made by letting him go, he will be a social butterfly, blessings
I've been waiting all day to hear about his day. I'm so excited.
I'm so happy for Leon! Jody, I cried when I dropped my son off the first couple weeks,but it got easier.I adore your family 💕
The first day of school is always so hard, but Leon was a champ and so were you Jody.

It's so good for Leon to be at school he will learn things at school that you can't teach him at home, and it gives you a break. All my best wishes, 🤗

So glad Leon had a good day. How exciting for him! “Your not allowed to post that” 😂😂😂

What a great opportunity for him. I started tearing up when u called Paw Paw and told him Leon just ran off to play with a boy with a ball. Poor mama.
It's a mom kind of sad.. Your happy. Sad. Scared & nervous all at the same time. Letting go is HARD!!!! But it's necessary so we do our best.
Glad he had a great day at School and Theo looks a whole lot different from when he was newborn.👍👋👦🏼👶🏻💑👨👩👦👦 🙈
It's separation anxiety Jody, all of us moms go through it... It'll get better in time 😊
I was an emotional wreck when both of mine started school, they’re going into 4th and 2nd grade in august and I still get emotional dropping them off for their first day lol
He’s so cute! He was saying OK mom let’s go!
Hey Jody, I have five children and I cried every time each of them started school.
I still feel the same way even though my kids have went to school already. About lunch just make extra dinner and set some aside for his lunch.
he is so cute in his big boy outfit
aww look Leon sleeping long day at school
I'm glad that Leon had fun at school that makes me happy and that you was okay Jody I'm proud of both of you me and Miss Mary loves you so much j&j time
I love watching your videos
Oh it's always good to have a kid first day it's kind of the toughest but we all get through it but I think it's comical where John and Theo are having a grand old time
I was just checking my feed to see if y’all were posting got on at perfect timeing♥️
Barbara here I remember my first day of school. Wish him luck.
Jody, can you record Leon while he is at school? I'd love to watch it.
It is really hard the first month or so they go to school. Then you will get your new routine and feel better. It would be double hard if the child didn’t want to go. Easton was getting bullied in 3rd grade. He hates going. Once we got that fixed it was good again. So glad he likes it!
Good Luck Leon ❤
I always thought I was the only one who put cologne on my son for special occasions haha!
So cute❤😊
I'm so happy for Leon he's so happy and he's excited to go to school he's clapping his hands like yea
Congratulations on the big day
He will love school
He shuch a big boy
Theo is so cute
I am so happy for Leon! Don't worry Mama, It's normal to cry the first day (and every day after, JK!) Hope John is feeling better.
I forgot to ask how is John feeling, is his back any better?
I deal with back problem's too 😔 it's so hard to deal with, even when ive lost weight it's gotta be a genetic thing
Children are your most precious thing you own.....
I thinks it so much harder on the parents then the kiddos. Hav a good nite🌛
Omg his eye roll ! Cracked me up
Can Leon hear without his hearing aid ? Wondering as didn’t have it on for school.
He looks so cute good lock 😍😘
It does get easier while he's at school. It's completely normal to feel like that i had a hard time when both my kids started they have the same teacher and both do pt and ot at school along with activities.
Love your family
Glad he loves school!
Congratulations!
