Colin's Second First Day

Today was Colin's first day staying at preschool all by himself. It went really well! We went into his classroom together and got him situated with some trucks, and I told him that it was time to say goodbye. We said "bye" and "I love you" and then I told him that I wouldn't be going home, but hanging around the neighborhood until it was time to pick him up (which was true). He said, "I think that's a great idea, Mom. I'm going to be just fine." I was shocked! He's been pretty nervous, so I really expected at least a little crying. After school, his teacher told me that he was great, a little nervous sometimes, but mostly smiling and participating. I guess the only one with tears today was me!

Here he is, just before we left. School isn't quite as scary when you're wearing a sweet motorcycle shirt.
