The big day!

Aidan had his first day of "big boy" school today. He is enrolled in the typical peers pre-K program at Coal Mountain Elementary. We were so excited that we were able to get him into this class. The school is right next to Brad's, so he is able to take Aidan everyday. (We live about 25 minutes from the school) He and 2 other "typical" 4 year olds are in a class with special needs students. They not only have their own ciriculum, but help these other children thoughout the day. A great way of introducing empathy at a young age. A bonus is that it is a state funded program, so we do not have to pay for it. Aidan does go a full kindergarden schedule. He goes M-F for the whole day. We have been a bit nervous about that, but know he is getting a wonderful education!

He had a great day and fell asleep on the car ride home! When he woke up when we got home, he was excited to tell me all about his day! We are so proud of him! His sisters and mommy missed him today though!
