It's your first full week of First Grade!
I was always so nervous starting a new school year. Afraid I had forgotten a school supply, wouldn't be able to find my classroom, that I wouldn't have any friends.
Being a kid is scary sometimes. To venture out away from Mom and Dad and figure it all out on your own. I remember those days.
It's might be just as scary being a parent. Watching your baby walk through the front doors of school and praying you'll find that classroom and that you'll make tons of friends.
I hope learning comes easy and you pay attention.
I had set myself up for a rocky start to the school year because you were so unsure when you started Kindergarten. But you rolled out of bed, rushed to get dressed and out the door and when I pulled up to school, you didn't want me to park and walk you in. You said to get in the carpool line. I barely got a kiss as you jumped out of the car.
I'm so proud of you Aidan. So proud that you have a big heart. Proud that you put yourself out there. Proud that you are already braver most days than I have ever been. I'm proud I get to be your Mom.
I can't say this enough. Your journey in this world is so important to me. For Daddy and I to get to see you grow is the biggest gift we've ever been given. Thank you for letting us love you through it all.
You are so special to us.
Cheers to First Grade!
Love, Mom and Dad
