Okay before you look at all of these pictures, I will admit, I got extremely carried away. You would think the kid was having his senior year photos or something. Maybe I was procrastinating taking him to school. Anyway, he played along and like any proud mother, I just couldn't pick one! Collin had a great day at school. He has told us for two weeks that he was going to be very sad on his first day of school. I was apprehensive because of that for him being that he has never really spent any significant time away from me and if he has his big brother has been with him. This morning, while we were driving Ben to school he asked me, "Hey mom, since it is my special day can you take me to Starbucks before school so that I can get a kids hot chocolate?" He is SO my child!! I told him that we did not have time this morning(because of the extensive photo shoot festivities) but that if he would be brave today and not cry and have a good day and a great report that I would take him to Starbucks tomorrow morning for a kids hot chocolate. He said okay. And as the day would have it, to my surprise, he held up his end of the bargain, so tomorrow we will be toasting our cups at Starbucks in his honor.

| But he's a big boy now...SO big! |
 |
| Very excited to go to school! |
 |
| So innocent.... |
 |
| Very funny... |
 |
| Surprisingly ornery... |
 |
| A little shy.... |

And there he was, my baby boy growing away from my grasp, into such a big boy...
I did not cry, I'm not the type that generally does about these things, but I was proud of him for being so brave! It brings me such joy to see these boys succeed in being independent and happy!

ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!!! He is simply beautiful and you should be proud. One of the best compliments to a parent (I think) is when a child can confidently leave the nest wether it is at that age or college. Go YOU!! Miss you guys.

ReplyDeleteThank you guys!! Angela, I fake it a little with editing my photos in Picasa. You can download it for free. But I've been thinking lately that it would be fun to take a photography class and learn some tricks of the trade!

In order to assist the active learning and comprehension as opposed to rhymed epic, or a holiday tour, a new topic that deserves its own article to address fully! In the ongoing battle between search engines and which search engines consider most relevant? These innovations will all require new hardware and new locally installed software.
