This week, Jennifer Lawson sent her three kids—Olivia, 15, Sophia, 12, and Samuel, 9—back to school, and her candid Instagram post offers a relatable glimpse into the challenges many parents are facing during this back-to-school period. Like many families, Lawson’s household is navigating a mixed vaccination situation: vaccinated teens and unvaccinated tweens. Despite the chaos, she expresses gratitude for every step forward.

“The school year starts gradually, but today marks the real beginning for us — we’re back. 3/3 masked, 2/3 vaxxed (fingers crossed for the 11 and under crowd soon), everyone feeling eager yet tentative, bold yet vulnerable, and, as far as I can see, smiling behind the 3-ply masks,” she wrote alongside an adorable selfie.

Lawson also took a moment to thank the school staff, who have been managing a whirlwind of opinions from parents regarding masks, shutdowns, and remote learning for the past year and a half. “Thank you to the teachers, administrators, and all school staff for navigating through a year and a half of strong feelings from both kids and parents — whether loud or quiet,” she shared. “Thank you to science for bringing us this far and getting us closer to health and freedom. And a special shoutout to the moms out there, the humor that keeps us going, and the sun that rises no matter what. Please keep us safe.”

Most comments on Lawson’s post are positive, with many moms expressing appreciation for the available vaccines and the school’s commitment to science-based guidelines for a safe learning environment.

However, there were a few anti-vaccine sentiments in the comments, but they hardly merit attention as they echo the same tired arguments. Lawson’s post serves as a reminder of the ongoing vaccination challenges for children under 11, who are still awaiting FDA-approved vaccines. It appears likely that this age group may have access to shots by the end of the year. According to Dr. Francis Collins, head of the National Institutes of Health, while the data looks promising, the actual approval could be delayed until late 2021.

Until then, as Lawson notes, we’ll keep smiling behind our masks.
