happy first day

Aiden and Keaton never started sleeping in this summer and are usually up revving the engines in the 6 o'clock hour.  This is literally three hours before Aiden's bus is scheduled to arrive at 9:03am, so we have plenty of time for breakfast and fun and games all around. This morning felt like any other morning and like we'd already clicked into a routine. Both boys geared up in their new skechers sneakers   and they were ready to go. The bus showed up on time today and Aiden marched right on ready to see his friends and greet the same teacher that he had last year in his 1st/2nd grade split- but this year he's an older kid and gets to take the lead. It's such a long day we definitely missed Aiden since he doesn't hop off the bus until around 4:20. It felt like a pretty familiar day because this summer seemed so short, but I'm glad that Aiden was happy to be back in the groove. Keaton is ready for his turn next week.
