School Boy

Our baby is officially a preschooler! Yesterday was his first day of school, and he did so well! A couple weeks ago, his teacher came to the house to meet him, and we went to the classroom for an orientation on Tuesday. But yesterday was the big day. He was so quiet during the car ride - thinking about this new school thing. And when we got to the classroom, he was pretty unhappy at having to say goodbye, and was equally unhappy when his teacher took his hand and led him in. But at pick up time, he looked like he was having a blast. He was exhausted, but after a marathon three hour nap, he filled us in on all the details... the dinosaur toys on the playground, the chocolate bubble gum song, the cookie and juice snack, soaking his clothes with the drinking fountain. And he was thrilled when his teacher left a phone message yesterday evening saying what a great job he did. We left the message on the machine, and he constantly replays it and looks so proud.
