Caden is a first grader!

Caden started first grade at Chatham Elementary this morning. Really? Where did the time go? I cannot believe he is in first grade. (Will I say that at the beginning of every school year? Yes!)

Caden is riding the school bus for the first time this year. He was so excited. Their Indy school did not have bus service, and he was bummed about that last year. Sending Caden off on a bus will be quite an adjustment for me because I'm used to walking Caden to his classroom every morning and chatting with the other parents and teachers. The bus stop is just two blocks away, so it will be a quick walk in the morning (or ride in the rain and winter). Here is Caden waiting for the bus with Curt and Kieran in the background.

So excited and ready to get back to school!

Off to first grade...

First half day was a success! Caden was so happy to get out of the house on his own and meet new kids. Full days start tomorrow. The bus will pick him up at 7:39 and drop him off at 3:38. I have a feeling that we'll have a happily worn out first grader.

Congrats! Cute shot of him with Curt and Kieran in the background. We start on Monday. Though with the 6:45am bus pickup, I notified them that we'll only be using the afternoon bus. That's crazy early! Good luck to Caden. Hope that he has a super year.
