By Gosh, I Think He's Got It!

Well, after only seven months (humor me here), I think little man finally figured it out...he LOVES school.  If you will recall (those of you who know us KNOW the drama all too well), at the beginning of the school year Logan would NOT go into his classroom without clinging to me, crying, screaming, and running after me.  Special accomodations were made for Logan to be taken to the "bus stop" line on the other side of the school where I would drop him off and walk him to the bus line and his special "bus stop teacher" would be waiting for him.  She would hold on to little man and soothe him while I walked away and headed home.  This routine, too, took some time BUT...

After seven long months he's got it!!! 

Today, when I started to walk Logan across the crosswalk, he let go of my hand, waved a casual "hey" to Mr. O and took off at a sprinter's pace to the bus line.  No kisses, no hugs, no "bye mama."  He simply ran off and never looked back. 

I am so very proud of my little man.  At the same time, however, my heart cringes just a bit knowing that this is only the beginning of things to come.
