My handsome little man had his first day of preschool today. Where does time go? Wasn't it just yesterday that he was my baby and now he's all grown up with a big boy backpack ready to go to school! It was a very bittersweet day. I knows he's ready for it all, but am I?
Samuel was very excited about his first day of preschool, but mostly because his daddy got to attend as the parent helper. I have to admit, I was a bit jealous that he got to go rather than me, but I'm so glad that Sam has such a great daddy to look up to. He thinks the world of Brian and mimicks his every move (scary!).
Here's Sam getting ready to walk in the doors of his preschool classroom. He's so darn cute with that big boy backpack!
Here's Sam with his teacher "Miss Deb". His name was chosen to help with an activity requiring him to dress a felt doll in the appropriate clothes for today's weather. Apparently he was quite shy and not at all excited about all eyes being on him in front of the entire class (hum, wonder who he gets that from?)! Eventually, with the help of Super Dad, he warmed up and did a great job!
Feeling more in his element, Sam had a great time meeting new friends at "playtime".
Overall, it was a good first day and Sam says he wants to go back again on Friday. I guess it's the beginning of the end and I'm going to have to learn to just let go...
Easier said than done.

What a big boy going to preschool. I'm sure he'll love it and soak things up like a sponge. It seems like yesterday you guys told us you were pregnant with him! Scary!
OK, so I'll leave a comment for you... you are impressive - keeping this updated, and writing fun stories in it. You're boys are cute and yes, Samuel is really, really old. Kindergarten will be here before we know it!
