Today was Coleman's first day of preschool. I know that this should be an exciting day and I should be happy to have the house all to myself for 2 & 1/2 hours-not so! I was a wreck! I tried so hard all morning to act excited and I think a did a great job of holding back the tears. We got to the preschool, Coleman hung his back pack on "his" hook and then he was ready for me to go. I did get a quick hug and a kiss (on the cheek...isn't he too young to know that it's not cool to give your mom a big fat juicy kiss on the lips?) and then he was off playing with the other kids. No "Mom, stay with me" or "I just want to go with you", only a brief goodbye and he was fine! And actually, I was fine too. My good friend, Cody told me she would go shopping with me to keep my mind busy. We had a great day picking out bedding for my bedroom and then to the scrapbook store to buy some cute paper for our card exchange. When we got back to the preschool to get my handsome little guy, he already had his backpack on and was waiting for me. What a great feeling! I love him! He is truly one of my "best buddies". He can always make me laugh and we have a great time together no mater what we are doing! My favorite thing about Coleman is his great smile. It lights up any room and it can always light up my day! I also love the way he answers me when I say "Hey Coleman, do you know what?" He will always say "I know, you love me and I'm the greatest boy ever!" And he is!

aww. He is getting so big! One more year and you'll have to be all alone at home when all the kids are gone to school!
Such a little sweetie. My son has impeccable taste in best buddies. I'm sure that Sean probably enlightened Coleman on the whole "it's not cool to kiss your mom thing", so my apologies. So glad he had a great first day!
I was kind of sad that I couldn't get Alaina into pre-school. But like you said, they are so great to have around. I probably wouldn't have been ready to let her go yet. And I know she wasn't. She is so paranoid of crowds and people she doesn't know. So when it comes around to next year I might have her consult with Coleman. Maybe some of his confidence will rub off on her!
