He loved wearing his backpack and getting to go to school "like Ben"!
Right about the time this picture was taken....Nate realized that going to school "like Ben" and going to school "with Ben" (I am pretty sure he thought Ben was going to be in his class) were two different things! Nate lost it...crying, clinging to my leg, screaming "I need my mommy"! The teacher grabbed him and went inside. I knew he would be fine and love it, but I have to admit...I felt a little bit better about myself that he was a little sad to leave me in the end! Luckily, when I picked him up he was all smiles and told me he "ate snow"...his teacher is AMAZING! They are studying snow and weather and they ate snow cones and made sleds! We celebrated the first day by getting ice cream at Coldstone!
Dropping him off on day 2 was much better...he said "see you later" and blew me a kiss. Nate was the "door holder" for his class. I don't think he understood the concept but he loved greeting everyone on the way in the door!
And today...Nate rode the bus to school!! He was so excited!
