First Day of First Grade

It is always amazing to me to see how fast time goes by. Caden started 1st grade today at Sierra Verde. It was a long, exhausting process making the decision of where Caden would go to school. He had been going to Joy since he was 3. Hard decision to make but we are hoping that Caden will excel at Sierra Verde just like he did at Joy.

Caden was pretty excited to start school. We had gone to meet the teacher night last week and Miss F. had given the kids bags of goldfish crackers--because they were "o-fish-ally" a first grader! Caden loved it. (Food will win him over every time!)  We checked out the Viper Den which is the before and after school care. We were ready for school to start!

 It is a good thing we left in plenty of time this morning to get to school. We had to park about 1/2 mile away (probably not much closer than walking form the house).  It was at least 100 degrees outside. Got  Caden over to his classroom and snapped a quick picture with his teacher!  Way before I was ready, it was 8:40 and time to go in the room. I gave him a hug and he walked away without any hesitation. So proud of him!  I couldn't resist snapping one last picture of him settling down in his desk.
