Old Friends and New Friends

Today was the first day of school for the boys.  New books, pencils, crayons, backpacks, uniforms and whatever else the teachers need were purchased and hauled to school today.  Son #1 settled in quickly and reacquainted with old friends, barely noticed me and Son #2 leaving.

Son #2 happily entered his school anxious to see his old friends and teachers yet still a little shy.  But what a difference from a year ago.  No crying out loud, no clinging to the neck, no prying arms away.  Yes, I controlled myself very nicely this year!
