Who will shed more tears today, Mom or Zachary?

Today is Zachary's first day of preschool and I'm still in denial.
Last week we had a successful meeting with his teacher, despite his injuries at the time. He actually starting crying when it was time to leave as he wanted to stay and play, which the teacher said was pretty unusual. Even though I am anxious to have the first 'drop off' done, I am feeling very comfortable with the school. It turns out that his teacher is a mother of one of the girls I coached on the Badminton team last year. She remember Zach from our Badminton matches and said she was excited to have him in her class. Its just a small personal touch that is helpful for me as we embrace our first day of school.

Anyway, wish me luck as I encourage him to be brave while I will probably be fighting back the tears when I drop him off. However once the drop off is over, I can't wait to enjoy my 2 1/2 hours of free time, well at least with only 1 child to tend to.
