Today is River's first day of school EVER! Aspen, Everett, Maxwell and Haven are in school for the day! Luna doesn't have preschool today so she is going to be home today with Maria and Eden.
Joey begins to vlog himself. He is holding a very happy Eden in his arms. Eden tries to knock the camera out of Joey's hand.
"Don't grab the camera, Edie! Silly girl!" Joey says, kissing Eden's cheek.
"Ahh, good day everyone! And welcome to today's video! It has been a busy morning! Aspen, Everett, Maxwell and Haven are at school and Luna, River and Eden have been playing. But today is a very special day for River! River is starting Headstart today! Luna went last year and fell in love with it, so Daniel and I decided that River will do the same thing! He has been asking about going to school, so I think this will be good for him! Daniel is getting him ready and we are going to take him! The first day isn't a regular day, it's just the parents meeting the teacher and the kids meeting each other!" Joey says to the camera.
"Da!" Eden says as Joey smiles at her.
"You are getting so big, Edie. She is six months old already! Yeah you are!" Joey says as Eden giggles and plays with Joey's necklace.
"Go see Daddy, River!" Daniel says from upstairs.
River walks down the steps slowly and is greeted by Maria. Maria smiles at River and takes pictures of him.

shoelace.
