Be brave.

Our note from the pre-school teacher says to "be brave."  Yup, she's talking to the parents.  It was running through my head over and over as I left him today.  I was doing quick little mind games as I walked away, while still gripping my camera strap.  The little self pep talks helped.  I did turn around once after I left him on the playground, and I thought "be brave."  And.........drumroll, we were!  It was a great first day.
