First day of school

Traditionally this day comes in August but my little buddy has been on preschool waiting lists since we moved and finally got into one mid-year. Today was his first ever day of school and he did so great. You never know how your kids are going to react to new situations and all you can hope is that you've prepared them for it and given them the confidence and reassurance that even though you're not there, they'll be okay. Rory was apprehensive this morning...he told me that "school made his tummy a little nervous".

After a pep-talk from his big sis and a friendly smile at the door of his classroom, he did spectacular. I am so proud of him today. There was this unsettled feeling in my stomach all day...like I was missing or forgetting something. It's going to take some getting used to but I'm so glad to see him developing his independence.
