So, like most of my posts, this comes a week late. Brayden has now made it through his first week of first grade. So far so good! His teacher seems really nice, her name is Mrs. Doddridge which is quite a mouthful for the little ones. He came home from his first day of school all excited that they didn't have to "pull cards" this year. This is what they did in kindergarten for discipline. Everyone started on green, but if they got in trouble they would have to pull their green card, leaving them on yellow, which was their warning. If they got in trouble again they had to pull yellow, leaving them on red, and a note would be sent home. Even though he never got a note sent home last year, he did make it to yellow on a couple occasions which devastated him. So it was a sigh of relief for him when he didn't have to go through that this year. However, the next day he came home all bummed because he found out instead of pulling cards they now had to stay on their green light. Ugh!!! Not good news for Brayden. Hopefully he can keep his green light shining.
Oh, and he's riding the bus year. Another new adventure! He catches the bus at 7:05 am and doesn't get home until about 3:40 pm. That makes his bus ride an hour each way, but he loves it and has a lot of friends on the bus with him.

How grown up he looks. Oh how I wish our kids were in school together like they should have been :( But I am happy to hear he is liking it so far. Tell Brayden that Aleah has the same Green Light thing too! And she too has been on yellow :( Love you! Miss you lots! Tell Brayden I'm proud of him and love him lots too!
Way to go Brayden!! Riding the bus was always fun for me. It wasn't for an hour long ride though. That sure makes for a long time without him at home for you and Andrew! Sounds like he is going to do great this year!
