My youngest started today. Wife was emotional, I was prepared with the camera. Got him to school on time, he went in without clinging to my leg which I was honestly not expecting. Picked him up and he had a good day, made a friend, ate snack time. Small victory but I'm celebrating. The big school years have officially begun and we're gonna crush it.
Getting everyone where they need to be on time with documentation is no joke. That's dad level mastery right there.
The 'wife was emotional, I was prepared with the camera' line is peak dad energy right there. Love it.
First day of kindergarten is wild. That camera trick is smart because honestly you can't remember half of what happens. How did your youngest handle the separation?
That first day is huge. Props for staying calm. I was a wreck dropping my oldest off at kindergarten even though I tried to play it cool. The camera was a great move, wife definitely appreciated having those photos.
How did he do coming home? My son was exhausted for like three days after starting school. Napped at 4pm and was asleep by 6:30.

No complete chaos is a win in my book. I've heard horror stories from other dads about first day meltdowns. Sounds like you had everything dialed in.
