First Day!

I realize I'm not the first mom to do this, but it didn't make it any easier. But, I did it! He's at school now. And without any tears! For those who know Luke, you know that is HUGE. GINORMOUS. GARGANTUAN. ENORMOUS. We can't even leave friends houses without tears. But, he just walked right into the building, without me, without knowing for sure where he was going, just did it like he'd done it a thousand times before. I'm really proud of him, and myself for not losing it until he was in the building, but mostly him. I'm not sure what to do with us now. I think I'll just be looking at the clock until I can go pick him up. He wanted so bad to ride the bus, but I figured he'd have a panic attack when it came down to actually doing it. I told him if there were no tears today, he could ride tomorrow. I thought that was a pretty safe promise, but I guess he's going to ride the bus tomorrow. This all seems to be happening very fast. When did this

turn into this?

I guess it's true that the days go slow, but the years fly by. I'm sure one day very soon, I will look forward to my 3 hours with two, but for today I'm missing the third.
