Gage's First Day of School....EVER.

Oh my goodness---Gage had his first day of school today...and he did AWESOME!

...Daddy & I took Gage to school this morning, and then parted ways...

But, let me backup....Getting ready in the morning...

...brushing his teeth with Daddy...


...choosing which cologne he wants to wear...

{why yes, his eyes are closed, so perhaps that's how he chose...no, in reality, he chose BOTH, and got a tiny squirt of each...}

...playing around while (& after) Mommy did his hair...





...posing by the car...


...at the school...

{indicating with his one finger that it is his first day of school...}

Just look at this little apple with his name. His little hook for his backpack. Oh, it was so sweet to find his hook & hang up his little stuff....


Can I just say how proud I am?
This child only looked back once, and that's when I was lagging behind...you know, taking pictures...

When it was time to enter the classroom---he was all over it. This child went directly to the Lego Center to Lego Station. He was curious about the small tables & chairs, and where he would sit. Separation anxiety? What separation anxiety? I had to ASK for a hug & a kiss. ASK.

I couldn't have been more proud.
Hubby & I "high-fived" on our way out. "Our kid is so awesome!"
My heart went out to the other families experiencing tears, and clinging, and fits.
...but us? Our kid did AWESOME!
