Day 1 of the Next 13 Years

Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday Aiden was a sweet little non sleeping baby. Fast forward to present day...Aiden started kindergarten at St. Matthews Elementary Tuesday.

He was so excited to go! We had already gone in to meet his teacher, Ms. Hunt, and to let him get acclimated to the room. Unfortunately his first day was my first day with students, too. However, St. Matthews is literally right behind Waggener so Travis stopped him by before dropping him off. D'Arci was kind enough to get our picture together and he was off for day 1!


After we picked him up that afternoon, and dried his tears caused by the confusion of the car rider dismissal, he was so ready to tell us all he did that day...this has never happened before! He usually pleads the fifth but not today! He told me he did all of the following things:

1. Went to the library to check out books
2. Read three books
3. Listened to Ms. Hunt read about a racoon and a box
4. Play on the playground
5. Eat lunch in the lunchroom
6. Play in the gym
7. Went to music

Does all of that activity sufficiently explain these photos taken about 15 minutes after we got home?




Now my sleepless baby boy has turned into a sleepy little kindergartener. My how things change!

Oh Kristen. This post made me teary. It brought back so many memories from when my first went to school.

It's emotional.

What a cute little boy! I love how you documented it.

Joey goes to Kindergarten too this year. He starts in 2 weeks.

It's not as emotional with the 2nd one.
