First Day of School

 
Today was a very big milestone in Nicholas's life.  He started preschool!  Yup.  This is not a misprint.  My little preemie is now a preschooler.  Where did the time go?  And more importantly... how the heck did his legs get so darned long??!!

This morning before I left for work, I showed Nicholas a picture of me on my first day of preschool.  I still remember every year, standing on the front stoop in my new outfit and school bag getting my picture taken before heading off to school on the first day.  So, I told Todd that no matter what it took, he'd have to get the boy to pose for a picture.  Posing for pictures is not exactly a favorite pastime for my son, so I really wasn't sure if he'd be able to pull it off... but as you can see, we have a beautiful first day of school picture, complete with Spider Man backpack.

Apparently, when the door opened, my little monkey was the first one to fly through the door - ready to go.  It sounds like he had a great morning.  He even emerged with a fingerpainting masterpiece!

I am so incredibly proud of my little boy.  He is so confident and handsome and smart.  I couldn't love him any more than I do right now.  And I say this knowing full well that tomorrow I'll love him even more.  Bon voyage my little dude - your education has begun!  I hope it takes you on the ride of your life! :)
