Every experience in life has its opposite...

That's why I thought it only fitting to combine the first day of school with a visit to the dentist. You guess which one brought pleasure and which one brought pain. :)

After a rough start to the day (that involved much weeping and nashing of teeth...and only 8 teeth cleaned), our preschooler celebrated with a happy meal for lunch and then was on his way to his first day of school at Louis Wiener Elementary.

He is officially a "Wiener Whale" and is mighty proud.

We took a family self-portrait (minus Crew)

Then he lined up and marched away... (and the teachers had tissues on hand, but we were all good...in fact maybe a little giddy :)

We picked him up at 3:21 (really, isn't that a funny end time) and Cole declared it his "special day," promptly asked for a snack and then whined and fell asleep on the couch.

Yes, a good day indeed.

Cole is so brave! What an awesome dude! I was just thinking about how he's going to be the coolest guy around when he's a teenager... :)
