Cool Dads™ | First Day of Pre-K

Welcome to Cool Dads™, a series in which our resident cool dad, Nick Grant, helps us all get dressed.

This past Monday was a very special day for me. It was the beginning of a new stage in my life. One that, honestly, I wasn’t sure I’d ever make it to. But I did it, y’all. I made it through my son’s entire first day of Pre-K, and, I cried less than 10 times.

I had to do my best to play it cool and casual, but you know how important it is to get a fit off on your first day of school. Since fall is just around the corner, I decided to bring out the autumn color palette a little early with the button down cargo shirt and chinos. A stylish, yet sturdy bandana is necessary to hold all of the tears and snot throughout the day. How do they grow up so fast? WHERE DID MY LITTLE BABY GO? God, I’m old. At least I still look good. Kinda.
