ToriandZach Roloffhave a lot of major milestones going on in their house this month.

On Wednesday, Tori shared sweet photos of sonJackson Kyle, 5, on his first day of school and reflected on watching her oldest take on this next chapter.

“This kid makes my heart swell with pride. He walked into his first day of school as confident as ever! He is so sure of himself and I love how he owns a room!” the proud mom shared.

Noting they are “so stinking proud of our kindergartener,” Tori also shared their hopes for the little boy.

“I pray every single day for the Lord to protect this boy’s heart. To give him the confidence and strength to keep going. I pray he is always kind and helpful. I also pray that he loves school as much on the day of his graduation as he did today! 🤣”
