Ramsey's First Day of Preschool

We awoke an hour earlier than we normally do to get Ramsey ready for his first day of preschool.  I was excited.  He was excited.   Donned in his R2-D2 shirt, storm trooper hoodie, and a little bit of gel in his hair (gotta look good for the new little ladies, ya know), he was ready.

Of course, I took lots of pictures before I put Ramsey's coat on and he and left with Daddy for his new adventure.

I was "good".   Ramsey was going to preschool and I was excited for him to learn new things and meet some friends.   Yup, I was good.  Truly... fine.  :-)  That is, until the minute Eric walked out the door, carrying him away to the truck.   Ramsey was grinning from ear to ear and waving at me, saying "Bye bye, Mommy, bye bye!"
Then, I lost it... just a little bit.    So bittersweet.

I thought Ramsey would do fine being "left" at preschool.   Eric wasn't so sure and joked (ok, so it was only sort of a joke) that we'd be getting a phone call within the hour for us to come pick up our child.

Eric had butt-dialed me by mistake, so when the drop-off was made, I heard it!  :-)   Ramsey was good.   I heard "Bye bye, Daddy, bye bye!" and that was that.  Eric called me to confirm the news.  :-)

Doodlebug had a great day!  Mom and I picked him up (Mom wanted to see the facility) and he was happy.  He has talked about going back to school constantly ever since.  And, he's been talking about going on the field trip to the fire station non-stop.  He has to wait a few more days.   Day 1: Success!
