Today was the first day of school for Hudson and Hayes. We were one of the last schools to start in our area and we were all ready.
Last night when we got home from church, I tucked Hudson in and prayed with him about his first day of kindergarten. He told me that he might be a little bit shy and was going to miss his teacher from last year. But I promised him that he would love his new teachers and that they’d have a great year.
We laid out all the paperwork we had to take with us and set out their clothes, so we could have as smooth a morning as possible. I set my alarm for 6:30, but I was wide awake at 6:15. I think I was nervous, too!
I didn’t want him to be late and I didn’t want to rush. I made breakfast and got myself ready and then Hudson and Hayes got up and came downstairs. It was such a smooth morning.
Both boys even agreed to let me take their picture!
Hudson’s school starts an hour before Hayes’s does, so Todd and Hayes stayed at home while I took Hudson to school. He held my hand walking down the hall, and was eager to meet his teachers and check out what was going on in the classroom. I kissed him on the head and walked out. Once he saw his buddies, he was just thrilled to be there.
I ran home and got Hayes, took his picture, and then went back to school for him to start. He walked right in, used the potty (yay!), and washed his hands. And then he found his place in the room.
It’s going to be a great year for both boys, and I know they’re both going to grow and change so much this year. Hayes will gain more independence and Hudson is just going to learn so much and change so much.
Hudson even got a head start on his homework today while I put Hayes down for his nap. He’s going to love school!
Did you help him with that?? I’m so impressed! Yay for willing pictures!
What a sweet little survey! Life is a Highway! Good choice!

Awww, Erin! They both look so handsome. And so grown up. So glad that Hudson’s first day went so well. Did you cry? Because I sure teared up reading this. I don’t know how I am going to do it once my little man starts real school. He is 15 months old, and I cried dropping him off at Mother’s Morning out on the first day.
love that his favorite song is “life is a highway” haha! sweet boy 🙂
hope he had a great first day!
It’s hard to believe how big our kiddos are getting! I’m so glad you guys had a great first day. I know it’s going to be a fabulous year!!
Love that his favorite song is Life is a Highway! And you know that Todd is doing a fabulous job as a Daddy if that’s what he wants to be when he grows up. You have such sweet, sweet boys!
