Since I drop Katherine off at school around 8:30 and he doesn't need to be to preschool until 9:10 we decided to start a new tradition. Every Tuesday morning on our way to preschool, I'm going to stop off at Casey's and get him a little breakfast treat. He was so proud to be a big boy. He kept looking at me with a big smile on his face and said, "You know what Momma? I'm your preschooler now". AAAAWWWW...... He sure is!
On the way into school, we saw Michelle (Caden's mom) and she had already dropped off Caden. Surprisingly, Caleb knew I was going to take him in to school, leave and come back to get him later in the morning and he was fine with it. Up until a few weeks ago, he was such a Momma's boy that he wouldn't even stay with Matt or my parents, so this was HUGE!
Here's a few pictures of my little boy on such a big day in his life. ** Never mind the hair. He didn't want me to brush it too much, and really is it worth the fight? NOPE!
As soon as we arrived at school, we stopped by Caden's classroom and said hi. After the boys hugged, we made our way to Caleb's room. Each child has their own chair with their shape and color that they have been assigned. (Caleb is the blue diamond). Caleb immediately found his chair and sat down to play with the huge ball of play-doh waiting for him. I stayed for a few minutes, and then gave him a hug and kiss goodbye. That was it. He was thrilled to be there, and I was thrilled for him. No tears on either of our parts. What a relief!

And my little man -- standing tall and proud on his first day!
