Caiden started 1st grade today! I can't believe the summer is over. We had a great one, and it flew by! Caiden wasn't so sure about starting school again. It will be interesting to see how his day went when he gets home. He told me he was looking forward to playing soccer at recess again! At least he was looking forward to something.
I have to admit that getting up at 7:00 a.m. was early for me! However, the morning was so beautiful that I soon forgot about my sleepiness. It was a cool 55 degrees and there was mist rising from the pasture grasses with the sun coming up behind! The grass looked as if it was glowing -- BEAUTIFUL!
I said the usual things to Caiden before he got on the bus: "Remember to be a good listener, even when others aren't," "Remember to tell the cooks thank you when you pick up your tray," etc. There is still something about sending him off for the entire day, knowing I'm not there to check in on him. Chelan and I are realizing that we will only see the little guy for about 4 hours every day. We definitely are not the only influences on his life anymore!! Sigh.

I love these posts of Caiden getting on the bus at the end of the drive...reminds me of the good ol' days back when it was me waiting for the bus.
