Today was Aidan's first day of preschool at the Liberty Lake Children's Academy. I, of course, had mixed emotions about this experience. First, it wasn't that I was excited about not having him with me while I ran errands or cleaned the house, (I'm not saying it doesn't make things easier) but to be honest it was sad to see his empty carseat today. Most importantly, I was excited for him to meet new friends, learn new things... just grow. So, of course, Mike and I talked to Aidan about those new friends, new environment, new teachers; and stressed the importance of sharing, kindness, listening, and being a good example. So this is about the point where, to my surprise, Mike started struggling. I mean... tears.
So Aidan went to school with bravery, we said goodbye, he learned new things, met new friends, and listened to his teachers. I was too excited to pick him up from school and thankful to hear his over-excited tone, as Aidan does for almost every experience, as he described his preschool day.
