When I came to pick her up from Nonnie's house today here is our conversation. Lily what did you do at school today. I crying. I stop crying. I eat lunch. Did you get to pet the kitty. She pointed her little finger at me and said very sternly no touch kitty. Learned her first school rule today. I am a proud mama

You know what's worse than having them crying for you when you know you have to leave? NOT having them cry for you ... as in, they want to go play and don't care if you stay or not. Devastating .. just devastating. Maya is usually still clingy when I drop her off, but there are those days when she just tosses her hand up and gives me a quick 'bye' and moves on. Bestill my heart! But I do remember very well that first day at Maya's preschool ... and trying to hold back the tears (unsuccesfully, I might add) as I wrote the check in the director's office. She kept assuring me Maya would be find, and I kept assuring her I knew that, but I didn't think I would be fine!
Miss Lily....we are very proud of you too!! It sounds as if you did great for your first day of school.
Sarah....I am extra proud of you
;-) I have been thinking of you all day today. Sofia's first few days were very rough and then a fellow workmate put it all in perspective for me. He said "But if she is crying, then surely that means that she has bonded with you" Since we had only had her home for six weeks before she was put with Miss Wendy that did somehow make it easier to leave. Some days still are tougher than others, but I know she is in good hands there as your Lily will be.
Anyway, since Sof cut her mouth open right after she arrived the other day and came home (not to freak you out....it was her own doing) Sofia will have a make-up day on Thursday and see Lily there.
AWWWWWWW poor mom!!! I will be so sad when my baby goes to preschool next year *Tear*...My oldest baby is going into 10th grade it seems like yesterday that i was doing what you did today..sniff sniff! Lily is soooo beautiful!
She is such a doll. I am glad she wasn't traumatized and wasn't crying anymore LOL But how are you? I am going to be a mess!!!
Sarah,
Preschool? Wow! How quickly time flies! I am sending you a big cyberhug. I am sure today was very emotional for you. Kudos to you for handling it so well. It sounds like today turned out okay, though. I am glad of that.
P.S. - Thanks so much for my blogging award. I just checked my blog today and found out. You so rock! Thanks for thinking of me!
P.P.S. - Hang in there. Lily will be okay. Just make sure you are taking care of yourself emotionally, too. I am not quite there yet but I would bet this is harder on you than on Lily.
Hehe, so cute. Well she looks adorable for her special day!!
