1st day of preschool

Kirkland was all excited about school the night before when we went to open house. All smiles-couldn't wait! I, however, couldn't believe that my baby was growing up so fast, and could barely keep it together! How is he old enough for school? Wasn't he just born? Where did my baby go? Should I just homeschool so that he never leaves me?The next morning, I made this sign that said "Kirkland's 1st day of Preschool". I thought I'd make one each year, and it would be cute for his scrapbook. Kirkland was no longer interested in going to school or having his picture taken for that matter!He dropped the sign, and wouldn't look at the camera. At one point, he even stood on it, so that he could let me know what he thought of my "fun idea".All I want is 1 picture of my sweet boy, smiling for the camera, before his first day of school! I tried everything! But, he just kept saying that he didn't want to go to school. By the time we got to school, he started to get excited. At his school, they come & get him out of the car. He jumped out & said "bye", and never looked back. This is my picture of the empty door that he just walked though & didn't wave from. I pretty much started sobbing from this point on. Seriously, if Charlie hadn't started coo-ing in the back when we got close to the house-I don't know if I would have made it. I was devastated that I was entrusting my little boy into someone else's care each day. We went to lunch at Chick-fil-A afterwards to celebrate his first day! Geoff came too! Kirkland had a good day, but said he doesn't want to keep going back. He just wants to stay with me & Charlie. Me too... Oh, the gash in the middle of his forehead is where he was chasing a remote controlled Lightning McQueen around in our kitcheen & ran smack into the counter of the cabinet. It knocked him flat on his back he hit it so hard! This boy is going to be tough!
