The Dreaded, Yet Much Anticipated "Going into the big bad world" Day. Better known as: The First Day of Kindergarten.

I decided to blog with pictures for this post. This was my son's first day of Kindergarten. It was exciting for both of us.

The backpack and shoes, all ready to go. Probably the first and last time this'll happen lol

Wake up, wake up, my sleepy head. Real life has called, and you've answered.

It's all sinking in. He's going to SCHOOL!! YAY!

Looking spiffy in your uniform, my love.

Ready to tackle the world. Or kindergarten at least.

Was thrilled to see his bestest friend (and cousin).  Don't let that "I'm too cool for school" look fool you.

He didn't even look back. Sniff. I'm so proud. Sniff.

(YOU CAN STILL LOOK BACK AT YOUR MOMMY!)

Sniff.

First Day of Kindergarten was a success. He's back in my safe keeping. Whew.

Life resumes (as usual) with his brothers.

I did tear up after leaving him, but no tears shed. I was very excited for him, as he had been looking forward to it for a LONG TIME. What about you? What was your "first day of the rest of his/her life in the big bad world" like? :)
