First Day of School

Well we ALL made it to and then through our first day of school. I was really good dropping him off...I didn't even cry! As the day went on though I got more and more anxious. "How is he doing?" "Can the teacher understand him." "Did he remember where the bathroom is." This is not the first time Aiden has gone to a school...this was just so new....we were comfortable at his preschool. They knew him and all his "stuff."
Picking him up that day was when it hit me...I waited in the car with Cami while Jon went to pick him up. Watching him come out of the school, walking across the grass towards the car, is when it hit me... I couldn't wait to get him in my arms and breath him in. He got in the car and climbed up front with me and snuggled his head into the crook of my neck like he has done since the day he was born and then I was okay.
Except for a minor "hiccup" the day went pretty good...the next day the teacher even made some time to meet with us...He is great...he "gets" Aiden and now he knows all of Aiden's "stuff" so we are going to be okay...I think.
