First day of school - drop-off

[siercia]

So, this morning is Widget's first day of school.  I've been edgy and nervous about it all week, for various reasons.  She's just been excited - we went last Friday for an open house and she loved it.

This morning, she just zoomed in with her teacher, without even saying goodbye to Wiley or I.  Such a big grownup girl.

I'll be going with Imagy to pick her up at 10:30, since it's her first day.  Hopefully all is going well, and she'll tell me all about it when I get there. 

I feel all torn - proud of her, excited for her, nervous for her.

Heh, I remember when Johnny started school, and I was so GLAD!!! Paul just started preschool last week, and I think it was tougher on mom than kid. I have to wrangle kisses and hugs from both my kids when I drop them off in the morning. I am so looking forward to taking a flexibility class at the YMCA without having to worry about rushing back to the child watch room... I know at first, I'll feel like I've 'lost' something, but a little bit of mommy freedom is well deserved.

You'll both do fine, and things will always be this easy when school starts. It's a blessing in disguise!

I think I'd be more glad and less sad if I didn't work - because then it would be more about the mommy freedom. Since I'll just be at work anyway, it's a bit less so. But I can totally agree with you.
