The BIG day! It almost feels a little surreal to me that I have a child in school now. To start the day, I had to wake him up. Of course he slept in on his first day of school. I hope this isn't any indication of what the next bazillion school mornings will be like! 
Thomas was a trooper and posed for quite a few pictures this morning. Above, on the front porch on the way to school. Below, next to the sign at school. Yes, it was sunny. Yes, it was cold. I had a hard time putting him in jeans and a hoodie on the first day. But, geesh, it was 47 degrees when we left the house!
Heading on in. I love that Puppy is peeking out of his backpack. Puppy stood guard in the locker. He waited patiently and protected T's stuff until he made his debut during rest time.
Thomas loves that he has his own locker. I wanted a picture of him with his name. He wanted a picture standing next to his open locker. You know, so you can see all his stuff.
Thomas is in Mrs. Flower's Pre-K (young 5s) classroom. He is very excited to be in her class this year. A couple of his buddies have had her in the past. He's heard lots of good stories. I had the benefit of working with Mrs. Flower for an entire year prior to Thomas starting school. I'm sure this will be a great year. She is full of energy, patience, and knows how to push each student to help them become their best.
Thomas (and I) did great today. No tears or emotional oubursts! He will tell those that ask about his day:

Thomas (and I) did great today. No tears or emotional oubursts! He will tell those that ask about his day:- I have 2 recesses.
- I saw Kyle and Maggie at recess. I played "monsters" at recess with Kyle.
- Hermie (the class guinea pig) knocked over his igloo and scratched at his cage when Mrs. Flower put him back in.
- I painted and played with blocks.
- We went to computers but didn't get to use them. We learned that you put a colored cup on top of your computer if it isn't doing what you want it to do.
- I colored 2 pictures.
- I made new friends- Oscar, Matthew, Charlie, and Gavin.
- I didn't care for having to walk in that line. Some kids push and don't make good choices. I want to walk like the workers.
To celebrate such a good day, Thomas and I went to the park. When we got home, I made nachos. Thomas requested them as his special first day of school dinner.
