Today was the first day of Kindergarten for Cayden!

All dressed and ready to go. And, yes, that is a "Lost in Space" lunchbox. So cool!!

I am so excited for him because he is going to have so much fun and learn so many new things, but it is hard, much harder than I thought to let your baby grow up! Thankfully the school understands and they held a Boo Hoo Breakfast for the kindergarten parents. Lots of good food (even the coffee was excellent!) and a good distraction. That is until the principal decided to read a little story called "The Kissing Hand". It is about a mommy raccoon and her little baby raccoon on his first day of kindergarten. He's very nervous about going and wants to stay home with her. She explains to him that he has to go and kisses his hand so that when he feels sad, he can hold that kiss up to his cheek and he will feel it all the way to his heart and know that his mommy loves him. Then the little raccoon does the same thing for his mommy. You can imagine how all the parents reacted. I even saw some Dad's wiping their eyes!!

Let's see.....just 4 hours and 28 minutes left until I get to pick Cayden up.......
