    That's what taking your baby to school and leaving them with a teacher for the first time should be considered. :hissy

    Not even gonna lie, I came home and cried. Ugly cried.

    Now I'm sitting in the corner going crazy because the house is empty for the first time in 13 years....except for the cats that are still mad at me, and the dogs that are ignoring me.

    Awww Whit!!!! come here :heythere On that first day for us, I had to go to work, ugh! Imagine having to be around other people all puffy eyed. Trying to make you feel better, at least no one else has to see you cry. Hope the day goes by fast and that she's having a wonderful day :)

    I am so sorry! Like, Jenni, I have to go to work after dropping off my son too. I would much rather come home & cry than go to work after crying. I work in education so after every summer when daycare/school starts I sob {at least} on the first day of drop off. I hope your day goes fast. {{{hugs}}}

    I don't even want to think about this! It will be hard enough sending my kids to school this year and I still have one home full time.

    It's been a very long day....3:30 can not get here fast enough!! I can't imagine having to go to work and be around other people crying the way I was, it wasn't pretty at all! She'll go tomorrow, be home Friday and then it's every day beginning next week.
    It's so much worse with Izzy than it was with Alee or Gabe(though I cried plenty when they started school) because she's my baby. All my kids are in school now, and growing up even though I've demanded they stop :giggle

    awwww - sorry it's so difficult! my youngest starts in two weeks - and although i don't think i'm going to tear up too much, i know SHE's going to cry a lot in the beginning, and that's going to be so difficult for me ...

    I was afraid E was going to cry, but she didn't. She made sure no one was looking and gave me a bye kiss. She looked a little nervous when I left, but no tears.

    They should have a little room for the parents by the classroom on the first day so you can check on your kid every 5 seconds and make sure a)they're ok and b)not going to be rejected by the education system :giggle

    Mine weren't cryers. More like "so long Mom and don't let the door hit you on your way out". We intentionally encourage independence, but you'd think they could just shed a few tears just to make me feel better, right?
