First Day

Although Brayden was attending preschool while we lived in California, he hasn't been going since we moved to Alabama. Until today.

We've been talking about this day for months now and he's been so excited. He was still excited this morning until it was time for us to leave him. He had a sad face but I think he will do really well.

It probably would have helped if we had attended parent information night or "meet the teacher" which is just {part} of my HUGE mom fail.

The rest of my mom fail? Since we didn't attend parent information night (we were in California), I didn't know that Brayden needed a lunch. They get out at 1:00 so I just thought they would get snacks and I would feed him lunch at home. WRONG. The school called me today about two hours after dropping him off to tell me that he didn't have a lunch and they were eating in 15 minutes. Thankfully we live close and I was able to make a quick lunch for him and take it up there. But, dang, I sure felt like a horrible mother. Now I know...he needs a lunch.

I've been so excited for him to start school but now I am just watching the clock waiting for it to be time to go pick him up. I know that feeling will fade and I will be able to accomplish so much while he is gone with just Madison to keep an eye on. I am hoping he is having a great time and will really enjoy going to his new school.
