First Day of Preschool

It's official - Collin has started school. Ok, so it's only 2 days a week for a few hours, but it's "real" school. We went and met his teachers, and got a little list of things he needed. So, it was off for school supply shopping. Mom wanted to get the cute Pottery Barn Kids bookbag with Collin's monogram on it. As you can see below Mom lost that battle. Standing in the middle of Target Collin picked up the Toy Story bookbag, squeeled as he put it on, then with a huge smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is just right." How do you say no to that??

Just a few days later he was off for his first day of school. It was way harder on mom than Collin. As much as I joke about him never looking back (which he didn't), I'm glad he is so confident and comfortable that he wants to experience new things on his own. I also know it means that he is certain I am coming back for him. Oh that we might all have someone we love and trust that much.

Collin is learning new songs every day and is studying the number one, the color red and learning to use scissors - aaahhhh!!! Don't ever dismiss the job of a preschool teacher she/he is doing something most of us would never do - teach ten 2 1/2 year olds how to use scissors, and so much more.
