The teachers sent the cutest poem with confetti home with Caeden. I wanted to post it for any other mom's out there that are getting ready to send their munchkins. We had fun tonight with it!
Ready Confetti
The night before school is exciting and fun.
There are always so many things to be done.
Your clothes are ready, your backpack is too.
Your classroom is full of fun things you will do.
There are so many questions that go through your mind,
All types of thoughts of every kind.
But sometimes we all get the jitters down deep
And that makes it hard to fall fast asleep.
So we have made you some fun confetti, it's really quite cool.
It will help you be rested and ready for school.
Just sprinkle the confetti under your pillow in bed.
On the night before school starts where you lay down your head.
The confetti will help you sleep through the night.
And you will wake up in the morning fresh and bright.
We will sprinkle the confetti under our pillow too.
And remember we can't wait for school so we can see you!!!
Love the teachers.
(if any mom wanted to use it you could just omit the last 2 lines. :) )
Caeden is soooo excited about going tomorrow he just hopes someone will play star wars with him. :)
A funny from today.... We had just left church and were driving home when Caeden said, "mom, I need to pee." I said buddy I need you to hold it til we get home, we are in the middle of traffic I can't pull over." He waited for a few more minutes when he said, "mom, honestly...... I have to go pee." I laughed so hard. Honestly? Where did he hear that? It was in the perfect context too! Such a crack up.
Jay and I and my parents bought Caeden some back to school clothes. However for the first day I decided he should get to pick out one of his favorites so that he felt great about what he was in. The ol' Mr. Happy shirt made the day. He is wearing some new spider man shoes that light up and he is stoked! 
Daddy stayed home this morning to send Caeden off with us and he took us to breakfast at IHop, it was delicious!!
Caeden wanted the happy pancake. He ate every last bite and some of daddy's food. :)
Here he is already playing with play dough and meeting friends. He is doing great, and I have been crying since last night. This is the first time in almost 4 years that Caeden will be out of my care for regular intervals of time. I continue to be so thankful that I am blessed with the opportunity to be a stay at home mom, I wouldn't want it any other way! So, as I was saying goodbye to my bud for the morning I kept rubbing his back and kissing his check. On the last time he said, "mommy, I am going to have fun and I will be cool." I took that as my sign that it was time for Caleb and I to go. What a big step for me. I really would have liked to see if I could be the parent helper for the day, or at least stare through the window all morning to see what they were doing. :) Goodness. I am so thankful that God has another son at home with me to love on, teach, and spend time with. It will be good one on one time for us and I know that we will get into a routine and it will feel right. But today I am missing my bud bud!
