Pathetic display!

I well up just thinking about Ethan's first day at school (or preschool) so I totally sympathise Ricki. 

Sean's been in daycare for a year now and I still have trouble dropping him off in the morning.   :\\\'(
I don't think school will be any easier, at least I can check in on him at daycare.

Awww look at those cheeks.........he is so cute! I did the same thing when Caitie started Kindergarden.....

Can I pinch his cheeks when I come over???

Poor Coby and his chipmonk cheeks. I HATED people pinching my cheeks when I was a kid and to this day I still have a complex about it so NO CHEEK PINCHING!!!!

I can still tell him he is cute can't I?

Thanks! You are very kind to say so and now YOU and only YOU can pinch my cheeks! 

Wasn't it you Ricki , who said I NEED a straight jacket on my daughters first day of school? *hands over my jacket to you*
 hehe

  tee hee! (sorry, MeShell! )

Yeah................well..............I didn't want to pinch her ole cheeks anyways!

Awwwww! He looks so cute!

Aww Ricki, just seeing this now, he is adorable! He's grown a lot since I seen him!!! Looks like a little big man in his uniform! I hope things get easier for the both of you, I still cry every year when school starts! You'd think by third grade I'd get over it, but nope! 

If it makes you feel better, my mom cried when I left for school the first day...then again when I left to go to 'away' camp for a week...then again when I left for college and when I came over here.  It's so totally normal to cry when your child is doing something new - particularly when it's moving 'away from' YOU...the one he/she depends on so much.  It's a new role every single time (mom cried for all of this when my younger bro went through it too!).

are you tired of listening to all his stories yet?   
He is  adorable and so  much fun! I hope he continues to like school for  a  long time..  What  a big boy!
