first grade....

This awesome kid started first grade today.

And there where tears...from me.

Colin was totally cool about the whole thing.

He was a little nervous. 

The only way I could tell was that he was very quiet and picking at his thumb nail.

This year he {we} are lucky because this super cool dude is in his class with him.

{note the thumb picking. Totally my fault, I will admit it}

Off he went to his future of all day school, packed lunches and more time away from me then with me during the day.

{cue: sobbing}

Once at his desk he found a bag of treasures his super cool teacher had left for him.

Teachers are so awesome.

6 hours and 40 min. later his school day was over and with camera in hand I was the first mamma waiting outside the classroom door.

Phew...Only more then I can count days to go.

Next stop, our new tradition {thanks to Aunt Sally for the awesome idea}.

Chocolate cream pie. yum, yum, yummy!

We all made it through the day and are ready for tomorrow....

Maybe...

such a great kid
