Hayden's First Day of School

So we didn't close on our house until the same day as Hayden's first day of school. These pictures were taken at my good friends house who let us stay with her until we closed and could move. We ended up staying there 3 nights.

So with a heavy heart I got up and got Hayden ready for his first day of school. He was so excited after seeing everything in the open house the day before.

He didn't even notice our mixed emotions as we are sending our baby of to the big world. He was ready to go. My heart was pounding and I was a little nervous but that was about it until we got to the school.

Then the glossy eyes began and Travis repeats over and over again "Wow this is hard" and all I can bring myself to say is "Yeah."

We watch him show us how strong he then his teacher comes to have them all line up and we just stand there. Shouldn't we stop this crazy lady from taking our child, WHAT ARE WE DOING JUST STANDING HERE? I'll tell what we are doing.... starting to let go. He was all smiles waving good bye on his way through the door and we mimicked him and smiled and waved back. The drive to the closing was silent as we tried to get our emotions in check. Finally time comes to pick him up and he runs and gives us the biggest hug ever and tells how it was the best day ever and he loves school. Ok so maybe we did make the right choice after all. We sure love you Hayden.
