The Dawn Of A New Era

This morning, we reached one of those tear-inducing milestones as parents. Our baby boy started preschool. Things went way better than I could have ever imagined. Ethan went straight into his classroom, no tears, no nothing. I wish I could say the same for me. :o) He has been asking every day for the last two weeks when he wakes up, "Is today was the first day of preschool?" Well, today really was the first day of preschool and from what he's said so far, he wants to go back as soon as possible! I am so proud of him for being brave and meeting new friends. His best friend Eli has helped him make the transition easier especially since he is in the same class as Ethan. It's hard to believe that this day is already here. Here are some photos of our great adventure. Enjoy!


A quick family photo before we leave to go to preschool.

Erin wasn't sure what to think when we got back in the car without Ethan.
