Proud Mama...

As you all know, I quit teaching so I could stay at home with my babies and turn this photography gig into a full-time business.  My little man Cameron had been in daycare until this past spring.  We decided to pull him out to stay at home, but I wanted him to still be able to go for "school."  He is attending preschool at Grace Baptist Church in Evans, and Monday was his first day.  I guess because this was PRESCHOOL it had a little different feel to it, and I couldn't help but get a little emotional.  Anyway, here is my heart before he went to his first day!
He had to get a backpack and a lunchbox.  Such a big boy!

We attempted to take some pictures outside but it was so humid and gross...

And this one, well, it breaks my heart.  He looks like such a little man.  So big and independent ready to head off by himself.  

When we got to school he went straight to playing.  He couldn't have cared less if I was there or not.  He wanted to be a big boy and I was pretty much in the way...sad.

After grabbing him and forcing him to take a picture with me, this is all we got!  He was unhappy because I was holding him.

Anyway after telling him I was leaving at least 4 times with no reaction at all, I sadly headed out the door and hoped for the best!  

I was anxious to pick him up and hear about his day.  When I got there I noticed this sticker on his shirt...

I was then told that he had been EXCELLENT at school and was the star student who lead the line to lunch, helped clean up and was well-behaved all day.  I COULD NOT have been more proud of my precious little man.  

So as a reward he got to watch his favorite of the moment, Little Einsteins, on my computer in the office.

And he quickly returned to his sassy self!  By telling me "No, Mommy!"  when I continued to take pictures of him! 

  Don't get me wrong, Cameron is an amazing child.  He is just DEFINITELY 2 years old.  He does have good manners and we are trying desperately hard to make him do right early on.  I just didn't expect PERFECT behavior on the first day (or the 2nd!), but so far he is doing amazing.  I think a lot of it has to do with his awesome teachers, but we are so thankful and blessed for our sweet, handsome superstar student and SO proud of our little man who is growing up TOO quickly!
