Makena's and Bryden's Big Day!!!

I can remember laying in my bed the night before the first day of school pondering so many questions. What am I going to wear? Who is in my class? Did my mom give me the turkey sandwich instead of the PB&J? As a mom the routine still has not changed and the questions I lay in bed and ponder over haven't changed much either. What will THEY wear? Who will be in their classes? Did I put the right sandwiches in the right lunch bags?
I did run a few other scenarios through my mind. How can I get pictures of both of them when they go into the school on different sides of the playground? What am I going to do if Bryden will not go into his classroom. (Note to self: Don't loose Hayden on the playground during all of this!!!)
Having survived the morning I think it went pretty well. Makena wanted nothing to do with me and was off across the playground to find her friends and compare summer stories. She didn't need her mom there with her on the first day anymore!!! She is getting so big.
Bryden played a little basketball before the bell rang and checked in with me every few seconds. "Don't move mom. It freaks me out if I cannot see you" At least my little boy still needs me. (Note to self: Hayden has now wondered to the monkey bars and if I move to go get him I might "freak" Bryden out.)
Saved by the bell' Hayden and I walked Bryden to his line and watched him walk into the school. And like that he is a First Grader!!!
Now what are Hayden and I going to do today????
