First Day of Preschool

Bittersweet perfectly describes Erik Jr's first day of Preschool. I was so happy to see him grow up and be out there doing his own thing, and then it made me really cry. I was able to hold it together until we got in the car and drove away. When I looked back I could see him getting on a smock to play in the water table. Somehow that moment tore down the wall.

These pictures show the journey to school and back in reverse. You may notice a couple things. One: He has on different clothing from begining to end. You would think he had a potty training accident, but you would be wrong. He just likes playing in the drinking fountian. Two: He left with a bump on his head. I think that he didn't know that it wasn't a good idea to run directly into moving bicycles. Now he does.

We have completed week two of school today. He is going two days a week, half the day. Now I am not the one crying. When EJ, his dad, picked him up on day two, one little boy shouted, in greeting as he left,"Bye Screamin Kid!"
