Like many dad bloggers, I experienced my first back-to-school drop off this week.
My daughter just started kindergarten today. The entire family dropped her off. Boy was she proud and confident. I am not sure who was glowing more- me, my wife or Ellie. Even our middle son seemed ecstatic to see his sister off.
Landon headed off to Montessori about 20 minutes later without his big sister by his side. He smiled and waved through the window. I could see him chatting it up with his fellow preschoolers like they had been buddies for years.
Childhood truly is magical.
To Fatherhood and Beyond 
*sniff sniff…my son is two years old and i’m not sure if I’ll be putting him pre-school just yet, but I think I’ll cry the day he starts. I love your daughter’s name -Ellie. My son’s name is Ellis:) I always said if I had a girl next, I’d name her Ella, but I like Ellie a little better.
BTW…childhood ROX!
Our youngest is 2 as well. With three kids, he will forever be our baby since he will mark the final transitions for family as we move along.
I have a feeling my wife and I will be teary eyed when we drop him off for his first day of school since we know we won’t have that opportunity again.
