Whereas my first grader just told me he was not so excited about going to the first grade because it is that much closer to going to college. He is really scared of the fact that he will have to leave home for college.

Oh... I know how that goes, too! Our ODS was terrified by the thought until just recently (he's nine now). The younger one says he is going to move with us to the place he wants to attend college. So maybe that's a solution for your son, too? ;-)
