First day of school!

Aidan's first day of school was today. Jared was scheduled later in the morning, so he was able to go with us to take Aidan. Jared and I went in together this morning to wake Aidan up at 6:45 AM. He was a trooper and SO excited once he got his uniform on. He donned his new Wall-E backpack and had a slight nervous face, but he was so brave, which really helped Jared and me! Aidan gave us both hugs and walked right into the classroom to find his friend, Sarah. As the rest of us were walking out of the school without Aidan, Austin asked why we were leaving Aidan at school. He was pretty sad and asked many times today when we were going to go back and pick Aidan up. At one point, he came and told me he had finished all of his lunch and said, "Now can we go get Aidie?" :-( Poor guy is going to have quite a transition.

When Austin, Anna and I went to pick Aidan up today, we were all excited. Aidan got into the car and was all smiles about school. I questioned him every which way I could, and I could get barely anything out of him about his day. Here's what I got (other than a lot of annoyed sighs) over the course of three hours:

1. For lunch, they had "some kind of sandwich" and broccoli and cheese. He didn't eat the broccoli and didn't really eat the sandwich.
(So he was starving and wanted popcorn as a snack.)

2. Someone pushed him down the slide on the playground and made him go "super fast" and skin his hands when he caught himself. (Grrrrr)

3. He did no work at all. He did not use crayons, pencils, scissors or anything. He played and did centers, though I couldn't get anything out of him about what he actually did.

4. He told Jared that the teacher put on a video for them during their mandatory rest time. Incredulously he said, "And some kids fell asleep!"
