Marshall's 1st Day of Preschool

It is very quiet in our house this morning.  I just got back from dropping off my baby boy at his very first day of preschool.  Gulp!   

I'm proud to report that the drop-off was smooth and drama free.  We have been building this day up for some time now.  New shoes, special uniform, new book bag, Buzz lunch box, the list goes one.  Knowing how Marshall needs some time to warm-up to new things, I had made the point to take him to the school a few times at the end of the year for a visit in hopes that it would feel familiar when his first day came along.  It appears to have worked!  I gave him a choice of having me walk him into the school or going through the car pool lane.  Big boy chose the car pool drop off.  Wow!  

He jumped out of the car and started explaining to the teachers that his school supplies where in the extra bag I sent.   I blew him a big kiss and then promptly bolted out of the parking lot before the tears started flowing. 

Such a bittersweet day.  I'm so proud of him and excited for all that is to come...and amazed at how fast my sweet baby has grown into a big boy.  I can hardly wait to pick him up and hear all about it....fingers crossed for a great first day!
