Sam's first day in a full-time school program began today. Of course, he did great and both parents are very proud of him and love him to death. Matt tried to stay busy and not dwell on the fact that he had to wait more than 6 hours to see Sam again. Guess this is how parenting goes though. They grow up--and in that regard, Sam, who we think is quite exceptional, is no exception.
Oops, Matt had date wrong for morning departure photos.
The slog home after the long, hard day (reported he had fun though).
The friend that went with Sam (Joanie Pat has been in the family for a while). She was there for rest time and moral support. Tomorrow, Baby Beluga makes the trip.
