1st Grade, here we come!

 Brock and Bethany had staggard entry so Ayden was the only one who went to school on the first day back.

 I can't help but cry at all of Ayden's "firsts." He is my first child so everything that he experiences is a "first" for me too. Ayden may see like a tough kid on the outside but he is just as sweet as can be; he'll always say "mom, don't cry" and then give me a half smile with his head down as he walks over to give a side hug.

 This year Ayden was a pro at how to open the door and where to go. Bethany walked in with us before she went to daycare so Ayden acted so big showing her the "ropes"

 Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. "G" are his teachers

 He was excited to see so many of his friends from last year in his class

 The first day Ayden got to sit next to one of his best friends from last year, Alex.

 "Mom, I'm only letting you walk me in the first week."

**tears**

"Mom, I still love you"

**more tears**

"ok, mom, I'll give you two weeks"
