DD begins Kindergarten next Wednesday. I'm just happy that she's so excited and ready to go, so that makes it easier. Last year, when she started full time Pre-K, I balled my eyes out all the way back home. And then by the 3 week, she asked me to just walk her to the hallway and she'd go the rest of the way on to her class by herself, and the first day she did that, and then just turned and waved...oh my gosh! I felt like she didn't need me anyone and was fine on her own. I balled again! It is really hard, but harder for us than them I think. My dd loves school, so that makes it easier on me. Hope you all and your kids have great first days of school!
