Gabe goes to preschool

Wednesday September 9th was supposed to be our C-section date, but we really didn't want to miss Gabe's first day of preschool, so our awesome doctor moved us up to Saturday the 5th and we didn't miss Gabe's big day. First, he wanted to say good-bye to his new baby sister.Then he put on his hand-me-down super-cool Batman backpack (thanks to cousin Gaige!) and we were off to school.
His new preschool is part of a church and is actually quite big. Gabe was pretty proud to be there!
We got to hang out with him for a few minutes and that made him feel more comfortable, apparently way more comfortable!
Tell me where you have ever seen a cuter first day of school picture than this next one!! If anyone wants prints of this one, let me know. I love my son!!
His first and second days of school have gone really well, and this school is 500% better than the preschool he attended last year. One of the things they do to make the kids feel big is they get in and out of the cars all by themselves. Of course, Gabe is such a pro. He's been practicing buckling and unbuckling himself all summer and opening and shutting his own door for a couple of weeks. Now when we get in the car he exclaims the second he's ready, "OK! I'm all buckled, it's safe to drive on the road now!"
