First Day!

I have cried way more than I care to admit in the past 24 hours.

I never imagined I would have this reaction especially since she has gone to daycare for so long.

Attached are some photos.

I'm leaving soon to go pick her up.

The bus didn't go too well today...all of the seats were taken and she had to sit in the last row. She walked up the stairs and yelled out to me 'Mom, where am I supposed to sit?' It was hard. The good news is that CAW would have jumped on with her so this should be much easier in three years.

I did stop by school (without her seeing me) to make sure all was well. Her teacher said she and Zach (our neighbor in the photo) were holding hands as they walked into school. That was a huge relief.

Last night CBW described that her tummy hurt because she was nervous/scared. I tried to remind myself that we are so lucky to have a little girl who has made it 5.5 years without having to feel that way.

I checked on her ten minutes later and she was asleep so she must have been okay.

This morning I climbed into bed with her. The moment she saw me she remembered this was a big day. She did so well on her end and was braver than I anticipated! I have the most amazing little girl!

Will I finally sleep well tonight? I'm emotionally spent so I'm guessing I will! I also have class tonight. Fun times!
