Today is Carter's first day at his new school and--so far so good! .
I think the four visits we made in the last two weeks definitely helped. He had almost no trouble saying goodbye. My stroke of brilliance in getting him a new backpack for today may have had something to do with his excitment to GO to school, but even once it was unpacked and put away, he seemed happy to be there.
I'll update this post this afternoon to let you know how the rest of the day turns out!

Trying out his new backback yesterday
Ready to go this morning in his new backpack and (huge) new shoes!
Update: Well, the first day went even better than we could have hoped. He played, he ate, he napped, and he didn't cry. And he didn't want to leave at the end of the day!

That's great news! I'm so glad it went well!!! How did mommy do?
Oh, I did great. Nothing like the first day of daycare when he was three months. With much more confidence, I dropped him and ran ;)
His backpack is Cars themed (like, the movie). He loves that flick. He calls it (and all cars) "vroom". He is so attached to the backpack that we're taking it back and forth each day -- empty.
