School daze

Daniel's first day of pre-K started out with a bang; I overslept.
So we hustled through the morning ritual, and it was as he was polishing off his cereal that I noticed the dog. So I snapped a few pictures, and we were only five minutes late for class. The teachers were still sorting out who was whom and what symbol each kid got. (Daniel is now the red rooster) I noticed as I was typing bus schedules for the last two weeks that elementary buses are usually coded: yellow crayon, orange basketball, and so on for easy identification for the kids. Cool.
So whether your kid is starting his first day of kindergarten or the first day of her senior year, or whether you're packing up mini-fridges and bed linens for a college dorm room, take a minute, mom. You've gotten them this far.
