OH, snap, we officially have ourselves a first grader: 
After homeschoolin' it up for kindergarten last year, we made the transition to our local elementary school and we are all thrilled.
And here we have the [outwardly] calm, collected parents. Some of Chuck's family were in town Sunday night and Monday so we were able to leave Will and Jack home that morning and just have Mom and Dad drop Clyde off at school the first day. I felt fine as we left the school, although a couple hours later it started to hit me that I had abandoned my child with next-to perfect strangers and had now been away from him longer than ever before when he wasn't with a family member. . . luckily that freak-out moment passed fairly quickly :).
And that afternoon Chuck and I headed back to the school and were so excited to see this cute face in the crowd of schoolkids:
Not surprisingly, he loved school and the following two days have gone just as well. So, so happy/relieved/proud of our little schoolboy!

That first kid is always a doozy to let go of!! He looks like he loved it!
What a cute little first grader!
oh my gosh this made my stomach hurt!!! i am scared to death to send my little jax to school. i still have years ahead of me before i need to really worry! but it definitely is scary to let them go for hours... with strangers, nonetheless! he sure is a cutie! glad it was a success! :-)
Oh! Good job Clyde! He's a growing up! Sooo fun!
First grade?!?!?! How is he already that old?!
