Hunter's first day of Kindergarten!

Today was Hunter's first day of Kindergarten! Back when Hunter was first born I thought this day was so far in the future but it seems like just yesterday that I was holding that little bundle of a baby in my arms. Now he is so big and he was so confident today. I was a very proud mom! His teachers name is Miss Kennard and she is very friendly and outgoing and Hunter has 13 other kids in his class.
We got up this morning and had breakfast together. Then Brayden and I drove Hunter to the bus stop. We watched him get on the bus and then we drove to the school to watch him get off and walk him to class. Once we got him all set up in class is when Brayden lost it. The principal heard him crying and invited us into the library for coffee and banana bread. After a little while of visiting with the other kindergarten parents we snuck down to the class to see all the kids listening to a story and then we left to go get Brayden's haircut and do some shopping. Brayden and I had a long day of waiting for Hunter and Brayden told me a couple times how much he missed Hunter. Just a couple weeks ago Brayden told Hunter at lunch that he was going to miss him when he got on the bus. I knew that this was going to be a hard day for Brayden because his whole life he and Hunter have been together.
When it was time to go pick Hunter up from the bus stop Brayden was thrilled. I was interested to see how Hunter was feeling after a full day at school and was expecting him to be tired. Most of all I couldn't wait to see how his day was and I was hoping that he had a fun day. Hunter got off the bus and walked straight over to Brayden and wrapped his arms around him and gave him the biggest hug. There are no words for how I felt when I saw that. I just know that my heart melted. Then he gave me a big hug and I was so happy that he was happy to see us. Brayden had the biggest grin on his face and he told Hunter that he had missed him. Hunter then told us about his first day and how much fun he had. He was a little tired but for the most part all he wanted to do was play with Brayden. They spent the next hour outside playing in this beautiful weather we are having and I got to go through all the stuff sent home after the first day. I am a very happy mom and so happy that my boys are such good friends and brothers.
