It's true, our baby Crewe is an official preschooler. Sniff, sniff.
Chris and I were hesitant about sending our littlest guy to school for the first time, but to Crewe there was no hesitation. I mean none. Crewe was so excited about his first day that he woke up at 5:30 this morning. When we walked to the end of the drive to wait for the bus, he watched like a hawk for the beloved yellow limousine that he no doubtly dreamed about for the past week.
The moment he caught a glimpse of the wheels on the bus, he yelled "there it is!" and made a mad dash toward it. When the doors opened, he stepped up without taking a single look back. Chopped liver, that's what we are when the bus is around.
Like every mom who can't believe her baby is going to school, I naturally jumped in the car and followed the bus to school. At school, I found the principal and preschool teachers excitedly greeting the kiddos in the 95 degree weather (it was only 9 am). Crewe took a spot in the shade next to the school nurse while waiting for his classmates to arrive -- classmates like cute Mathew. Even though Crewe and Mathew had never met before, Mathew gave Crewe a big hug immediately upon seeing him and then grabbed his hand. And there it happened, Crewe made his first school friend. Mathew and Crewe were still holding hands when I walked away from the school entrance!
I'm going to miss my little guy during the 2 1/2 hours he's gone Monday - Thursday. With five classmates, one teacher and two aides, I have a feeling he'll not even know I'm gone. Crewe, I can't wait to see the fun creations you will bring home in your first backpack!

Cutest thing EVER! Love it! I hope he enjoys every minute. Congratulations Crewe!
Such feelings felt by a mother can in no way be manufactured by any important career or worldly applause. You did a wonderful job explaining them. Now don't you wish you could be in Crewe's head right now? No doubt a happy, adventurous little guy.
(And I bet little Matthew is your best friend too!)
Thanks for letting us catch a glimpse. Love you guys!
Oh my goodness! He too cute. I am with Sherrie. I wish I knew what was going through that cute little head of his. XOXOXO from Grammy.
I love this post from start to finish. What a big step! His backpack is seriously cute, as is Crewe. Love the friend hand-holding. I do believe he is ready to take on the world!
So dang cute!! Crewe is amazing, and I am in love with little Matthew, aren't you so grateful for children like him?? Love this post!
I am so excited to see you next week. Will love spending time with you and Cal.
Love you all,

I don't know how I missed the pics and words about Crewe's first day. But boy I could have used at least 2 kleenex's to wipe the tears of joy.
Three cheers for Matthew and Rah, Rah, Rah's for Crewe.
Glad to see Big Brother Cal helping out.
