Last night we put Jaeden to bed early and when I got up to shut the door, she started crying (which she never does). So I asked what was wrong and she just kept telling me that she wasn't tired...at that point I knew anxiety was setting in. Jaeden usually will not come right out and tell me what's wrong. So I proceeded to tell her how I used to get nervous before the first day of school, even in high school and college...didn't we all? I always hated feeling that way before school started, so I just laid with her until she fell asleep. My poor baby!
Thankfully, these pictures don't show how nervous she really was!
Had to get the most important picture...The backpack, of course!! 
After beggin Talan to take a picture with his sister, this is what we got. Jaeden had to sneak in and Talan HAD to have his sword!!
Today she woke up happy and still anxious, but at least she was willing to get ready. Luckily for me, her teacher already needed a volunteer the first day!! So we dropped off Talan at Logan's house (thanks Denise!) and headed to school. On the way to school Jaeden says, "mom, my belly really hurts". I reassured her that it was okay and after today she would feel much better. We arrived at school and found lots of her friends (even though she wouldn't leave my side) and my friends too :-) and we all melted in the heat as we waited for the bell to ring. Not sure why I even bothered with a shower! I'm glad I was able to stay in class with her today and I can't wait to pick her up and hear about the rest of her day!! PS...NO, I did not cry :-) Shocker!
Lining up with her new class!
Some friends!!
