She’s come through a lot with her TLC series journey. Announcing a landmark step taken by her youngest, she took social media by storm-one of the most simple captions, “The first day of preschool for Glenn,” met by an instant and thunderous show of support from the online community. This is a new chapter for both mom and son, emphasizing how fast kids grow.
There’s an immediate rush of excitement triggered from the base inside the comments of Glenn’s appearances. One person stated, “He really looks like you ❤️ omg time is flying bye so fast.” This sparked a hilarious grammar debate that took the opposite direction. Then one more reply came in: “flying by honey not bye lol.” Third responded, “Why your correcting people on social media . Weird.” The conversation took off from there until the last commentator pretty much best summarized the whole discourse: “who in tf has time for misspellings and mispronunciations on social media?? a fucking loser with too much time on her hands.” Classic internet: an earnest sentiment gets hijacked by a hostile grammar snob, only for another player to step in and lay out the absurdity of that behavior.
The mood remained jubilant after the battle of gramma. “Already? omg he’s growing up so much,” was shocked to share, almost a retrieval of experience for anyone following Amy on the ride of the motherhood television. Another follower poured out, “Time flies, I remember when he was born. Have fun, Glenn.”
No end to the well-wishes clogged the comments with so exciting! He’s a cutie,” and “OMG HES SO CUTE SENDING GOOD ENERGY TO YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️.” “Go get ‘em Glenn! 💙,” and “Wishing him a great year. Make lots of friends and have fun!” The full attention was clearly given to cheering Glenn on as he entered yet another stage in his journey.
Now, anyone that read through all of the comments already knows that there was an unsolicited bit of advice treat for the audience: “Be careful with his diet.” Unsurprisingly, it was met with the appellation of rude and unwarranted. One that stood for the comments even resisted: “Im sure she is so lucky that you were the one who pointed that out to her because no one else in her comments have said anything about that!” A reminder that not even a post about the first day of school could suppress opinion throwing from some. The community practically dived in and put it down.

There followed incalculable instances of Glenn being Amy’s “spitting image” and “mini you,” celebrated vociferously for that visible link between mother and son. This parenthood first is huge for Haltermann who has been very public about her life and family through reality TV, allowing the fans to be invested in these super private moments. A heartfelt, deeply relatable snapshot of parenting-which is kind of pride, a little nostalgia, but mostly hope for the kid’s happiness once they step into the world. It’s a small moment with so much depth; some experiences are universally understood and cherished. Fans can also see Amy Halterman celebrates son Gage and another preschool milestone.
