I know, I know

Blogs these days are full of kids "first day of school pictures." But I couldn't resist adding mine to the lot, especially because his first day was SOOOO FANTASTIC! My little Nicky is one intense kid, and I don't know that I've ever left him anywhere without him crying. He still cries when we take him to nursery and it's been a year and a half. So when I decided to do a pre-school with some great women in my ward, even though he's only two and shouldn't "technically" start preschool until next year, I wasn't expecting things to go smoothly. When I would talk to Nick about it and explain things he would say "I not go to school (pronounced skoo). I be too scared!" So after explaining 50 times that he would go and play and learn and have fun, and I would miss him, and think about him, and come and get him, he went today and HAD NO PROBLEMS! He didn't cry when I left, and when I picked him up he was waiting for me on the porch and I was greeted with a big hug and a "Mommmmy! I didn't cry!" Marcia (my friend who taught this week) said he did great and that he kept saying "My mommy's coming back to get me," like he was reassuring himself. I can't believe my little man is this big!





He was so excited about his back pack (thanks, Mom!) and insisted that we get a picture of it.
