Hoping I Made the Right Decision

Aiden began his public school class today. The morning started off early as Aiden decided to wake me up at 5:30am. He was able to go back to sleep, Mommy was not.

I ended up waking Aiden back up at 7am with his "milkshake" and then got him dressed for the day.

Now the school is literally just minutes from the house and I can see it from the front yard. However there is not a street that goes from the house to the school. There is a church that stands directly between Point A and Point B. So, I have to take the less direct route through the neighbourhood.

As soon as I turned onto the street to take Aiden to school, there was a TON of flashing lights. One of which was a fire truck. Now at this intersection, sits two gas stations. There could have been a gas spill. However, there was a car turned over on it's side. So now we are stuck in a traffic jam and there is no way that I can get turned around and go a different direction - there is only ONE way to the school.

Finally, we made it through the accident scene and to the school parking lot. I get Aiden's gait trainer out of the back of the truck, get Aiden loaded up and grab the things he needed. It then started a torrential down pour.

When we made it inside, we had to stop at the office and check in. Aiden was fascinated with all the new stuff and I could see the wheels spinning as he was thinking of all the stuff he could destroy! LOL!

Due to the wreck, Miss Jennifer (Aiden's teacher was late) and she met us at the office. Going to the class room was an open door to the boy's bathroom, which Aiden decided he just had to check it out and was not a happy camper when Mommy directed him to keep moving forward.

Once we made it into the class, there were 4 children (out of 10) in there already. One of the little girls started crying immediately. Aiden doesn't like crying.

But Aiden had found a new friend in the class and was happily "chatting" with him when I left.

Aiden goes from 8:30am until 11am. Just another 30 minutes of school left today.
