First day of school

Yesterday Caden and Paige had their first day of school.  I can't believe they are in kindergarten and 2nd grade.  They have both been excited for school to start and after weeks of build up I was glad it finally did too.

Caden walked right in like he owned the place.  Lol. He already told me the first week of school is super easy.  He was excited to see his friends and get started.  I had to basically tackle him to get a kiss goodbye.  This year I did not even go in the classroom, just said my goodbyes at the door.  I have a feeling next year I won't even get that.  It is bittersweet, but it is good to see him start to gain some independence and it just reassures me how much he likes it there.  

Paige has been waiting to be at school with her big brother.  She is extremely shy and I was very worried about how she would do.  You could tell she was scared, but she walked right in, said hello to her teacher and started working on the paper on her desk.  I though she might cry for a second, but there were no tears.  Whew!  We said a quick goodbye and I can't lie I am the one that cried after we left.  Jimmy acts tough, but even he went back and peeked in on her to make sure she was ok.  

They both came home happy and Paige said she loves kindergarten!  I am looking forward to a great year!  

What could too off an emotional week?  Tomorrow Caden turns 8!  I am sure I will be crying again.  Love my babies!

**Update**
Caden's lip is so much better.  You can't even notice it in the pictures.  He will have a small scar, but the stitches have already dissolved and now he is his old self again.  Praise Jesus!
