Not a single tear was shed by three out of the four family members, and the one that couldn't hold himself together is probably not who you think. GE was the only one that couldn't quite get over the fact that his older brother was leaving him.
GD didn't cry or fuss. G didn't cry. And I didn't either.
I know I was probably supposed to be emotional about my oldest baby going off to school for the first time. But I'm not the emotional type. And I was happy that he was happy. And mostly I was relieved that he was willing to leave me.
Getting GD ready to attend preschool is probably the biggest accomplishment of G's and my parenting lives, maybe even our entire lives. If you would have told us 6 months ago that GD would be excited to attend preschool, we would have never believed you.
But look at this beaming face.
This kid has come a long way in the past few months, going from hiding behind us whenever we went in public, to happily running off to school. I spent way too much time worrying about how he would survive life with his paralyzing shyness. But I think he will do just fine.
