Dear Hayden,

This morning I dropped you and Allie off for your first day of first grade! It was so different from last year. You were so confident and excited to get back to all your friends! I went with Elizabeth to pick you, Allie and ELijah up and you were all very excited, having only great things to say about the first day. The year is off to a great start. I am thrilled for you!

Love you,
Mama

Dear Hayden,

Tonight, we met your first grade teachers!! I am so excited for you because my first impression of both Mrs. DeStefano and Miss Coccia is that they are wonderful! I am praying and praying and praying that you have an amazing year.

Love you,
Mama
