Monday marked a milestone day for Sarah Palin's 8-year-old son, Trig.

The former Alaska governor's youngest child, who has Down syndrome, started school Monday and several members of the Palin family were on hand to send him off, including dad Todd Palin and big sister Bristol Palin.

Mom Sarah documented the big moment on Facebook, posting four photos of her son grinning widely and wearing glasses, a blue and white color-block T-shirt and a green backpack. He even had his own mini briefcase!
