First Day of School

[ktschris]

I'm not sure who its harder for. The child or the parent. Never thought I'd cry sending my last one off to school, but when she walked towards the door, turned and looked at me like a lost puppy, the water works opened up! Now as I sit at work, I wonder what she's doing now, is she scared, is she having a good time? I'm having a panic attack, have I done my job...did I prepare her for this? Whoa...stopping there before I go into a rant and start singing a verse from Sunrise, Sunset.

As a preschool teacher, I'd say that the first day of school can often be harder for the mom.
She looks like a very self-possessed little girl (not to mention cute as a button!) You did a good job, mom. Pat yourself on the back.
I bet she'll have a wonderful first day.

What great love you must have for her. You must remember to let her grow and become detached and independent. Co-dependency is not healthy for many reasons. She is a cutie-pie.

Well, just to let you know. I cried all the way to work and most of the day when I sent my 7th grader off to Kindergarten lo those many years ago. He is my only child and it was so hard for me to let him go. He is now a very bright and happy 7th grader. They grow up so fast, and teach us many things along the way. I will be sending you happy thoughts today!!!!! Oh, and what a cutie you have there.

Thanks you guys. She is a little princess in the making. Just ask her brother! All of our friends were done having babies when she was born, so she was used as the "oh wouldn't it be nice to have a baby for a day" child They still spoil her rotten. (In a good way) Mr. Seagrovelover still can't say no to her!

Ok SGL...here are all the kids
