Dean's first day of preschool

WOW!!!!!!  I think all the dogs in the neighborhood were awakened from their afternoon siestas today after hearing the jarring screams of Dean as I tried to take him to his first day of preschool.  He has been so excited to go to a big boy school, but that all changed when we went to orientation last week and he realized that I actually drop him off and leave.  I thought all was good afterwards when he talked about going to his big boy school again and how it would help  "get the little out" of him.  Wrong!!!  The trepidation set in this morning and he was already concocting the "I'm so so so soooo sick" excuse.  I felt bad about taking him anyway, but I know he'll end up loving it... right?  Needless to say, I didn't get any cute pictures of him sitting proudly at his desk or any other typical first day photos-- I was quickly ushered out of the room to "ease" the transition.  I sure hope tomorrow is better.

P.S.  Does anyone know anything about canon elphs?  I can't figure out why my pictures keep turning out blurry.  Ruth????

For inspiration

Shazam!!

I came across this gem as I was going through and deleting old emails.  It was filed under junk mail.  What a tragedy that would have been if I missed out on this little treasure.  Thanks Di for sending me Leslie in all her golden wonder!!
