Big Girl School

Thank you to everyone that has called me today or stopped by to see how Emma and I were doing with her first day of "school".

This morning was a little rough, but not horrible. Emma finally quit disagreeing with me about her going to 'big girl school' as we have been calling it. Yesterday whenever we asked her if she was going she would say 'Yeah'. She even got all excited about her new blanket and pillow. And then we got there................she walked in like a big girl holding my hand. But as soon as she realized I was leaving her there, she became like a little monkey and literally climbed right up me and attached herself to me. I almost started to cry right then - but I didn't! The other kids were eating breakfast so they went and got her plate to see if we could entice her to sit down and eat - no luck! A little boy at the table even pulled a chair out for her to sit in (it was pretty cute!). Finally they just had to pull her off of me and I had one of the teachers take her outside so I could leave. I even made it back to my car and a short distance down the road before I started crying :-(

I called a little while ago to check on her and they told me she was doing really well for a first day. I was going to talk to her, but she had already fallen asleep for nap time. I have managed to stay busy at work today and have actually gotten a lot done - but whenever I stop for a few seconds I wonder how she is and if she is okay. (I guess that is normal!)

I am hoping that tomorrow will be easier.......for both of us!

Thank you again ladies!!!!! You all are the greatest!
