and so it begins...

Benjamin began the long process known as "school" today, with his first day of preschool. He was very excited about meeting other kids and learning new things! But, before that, Mom insisted on getting out the camera, LOL! This is Ben's "how many more pictures are you going to take?" look: My answer to that was, "Until you will smile nicely!" :) (Plus a few more after that.)

We got there early enough to play at the playground for awhile:

As you can see, he was all smiles, and that was true even when I was walking out the door. When I came back to pick him up, he couldn't wait to tell me all the fun things he'd done! :)

Hope you will always love school this much, little guy!
