Another First Day of School

Well I did it.

I let her go to school.

She’d been asking for her teacher all morning.

I took that as my cue.

We dropped the big kids off first then headed to her school.

We had a few minutes to wait until we could go in and of course she waited patiently.

Which left me with a taste of her sweetness.

Which made everything harder for this mother.

When it was finally time to go in she held my hand until we got to the steps in front of the school. Then she was done with that.

She marched down the hall like she owns the place (which she kind of does).

Then she zipped into her classroom and went straight to her cubby. Of course that wasn’t good enough for me so I followed her and forced her to hug me. Naturally.

Then I walked the long hall out of the building and drove the long way home. All alone.

This will take some getting used to.
