Seriously where did the time go? How is my baby in real school? WOW, we have come so far! Could this really be the same little stinker that screamed nearly every time I dropped her off at Childwatch or a babysitter showed up at the house?! I mean, she barely left my leg the day before at the open house and wouldn't even speak to her teachers!
Her obvious apprehension yesterday had me anticipating the worst. I didn't want her to feel abandoned but we were going to be leaving her and what a terrible way that would have been to start this new chapter! To my absolute surprise she was comfortable from the first moment. She walked right into her classroom, sat at a table and began easily chatting with a classmate with a genuine smile on her face.
To say I was relieved is an understatement! I didn't realize how anxious I was until the tears started rolling down my cheeks. I couldn't leave the courtyard outside the classroom and I could not stop crying even as I laughed and talked to other parents. Oh how I love this amazing little person!
