First Day of Pre-K!!!

Today was Nicholas' first day of Pre-K! He's been counting down the days for a while now, and was up early this morning so he wouldn't be late! After a breakfast of waffles and yogurt, he ran upstairs to get ready (Mom, is this the LAST TIME I am going upstairs before I go to Pre-K????). He was ready LONG before it was time to go! Of course, when it was time to go Matthew needed a quick diaper change (Nicholas was SO impatient!). We loaded up and headed to school. THEN... I started tearing up. He's my baby (not the ACTUAL baby, but still my baby). He's going away. I am losing him. All normal mommy feelings. I told him I'd miss him and he (matter-of-factly) replied that there is no need to be sad. He'd be home at 2pm and tell me all about his day. What a sweetheart. I hid my tears and made it the rest of the way with no more breakdowns. When we picked him up, he was all smiles! He had a fantastic day and told me all about the centers he did, art class, Albert Einstein, playing outside, lunch in the gym, painting, etc. He had such a great time... he loved that it was so different than his old school (which he also loved!). The only BIG negative of the day was a leaky water bottle. I even TESTED it for 24 hours (upside-down) yesterday to see if it would leak. It just figures! Enjoy our pics with Miss Hawkins (N's teacher), outside the "Elephant Room", outside the school (take two pictures here, Mommy), and at home.
