1st Grade - Ready or Not!!

I don't think Caden or I were ready for school to start back.  I never thought I would be one of those moms who hated to see the summer end but I actually have struggled with it.  Caden isn't one who shows his excitement very readily and he has never claimed to like school.  I have tried to find things this last week to get him a little more eager (as well as myself) and to make sure we had some fun this week.  I really really pray he has a good year.  Friday was  a day of much anxiety for me and mommy doubt and guilt.  Today (day 2 of school) was better.  Don't get me wrong, Caden did fine.  He said he had a good day both days but that is about the extent of detail that I get!  We have told him his task each day was to find out the name of a new friend.... he has yet to do that and he says it is because they haven't had recess.  I guess you cannot find out a classmates name unless you are on the playground.  What happened to the name game that we would play every year the first week of school??? 

Here he is SOO excited to face his first day of 1st grade ;) can't you tell?? ;)

The best smile I could get!

Love you Caden!! 

So now it is a week of just Blake and I and then he starts a half day preK on Monday.  He is ready, but I am not!
