First Day of Pre-K!

It's hard to believe that Ethan's first year of pre-school is behind us, and he is now a "big" pre-K kid!  The morning of his first day, I had the chalk board all ready to go when he woke up.  When I asked what he wanted to be this year, he said he wanted to be a police officer.  I think we were all a little nervous and excited for the first day because we were ready to go extra-early.  We snapped a bunch of photos in the front yard, then headed off to school.
Last year, Ethan had trouble with mommy leaving the first few days.  It was really tough on both of us. It broke my heart to walk away from him feeling so sad, but I knew that he was in excellent hands.  This year was a different story, I could tell he was a little nervous, but after he put away his water bottle and backpack we walked in his little classroom to find his photo (to move from "not here" to "here") and put on his name tag.  I gave him a kiss and said we would see him at "adios amigos" time, then Matthew and I left.  And Ethan was fine.
Matthew and I headed over to a little park nearby, and since I had my camera with me (and he looked so dang cute) I decided to continue with my picture taking....
