First day of school

Big B had his first day of first grade today. He was thrilled and a little scared but he did so well! As I drove to the school to drop him off, I asked if he would like me to walk him in and take him to his classroom. He calmly assured me that he could manage on his own and added, "If I need help, I'll just ask an adult, mom." After school he was tuckered out, but proud that he made a new friend and tried several times to be kind to his classmates. These are pictures from the early morning as we were leaving. Could there be anything sweeter than this brave, compassionate little boy? I teared up several times today just thinking about him. It's hard to comprehend how much you love them until they grow up and go on their way...
