I don't know who was more nervous...me or her. Possibly me. She was SO excited to start pre-school! That's all she talked about the week prior. We got a new backpack and special water bottle. She was thrilled! Then the morning came and she wasn't so excited anymore, I could tell she was nervous. I tried to stay positive and keep a big smile on my face and act super excited for her sake, even though my heart was racing on the inside and I was sad. I know that sounds dramatic but she had never done any type of school or class before without me. We did swim lessons but it was a "mommy and me" class. We do play-dates and other activities but again, I'm always there. When we arrived to school she began to cry and didn't want us to leave. It broke my heart into a million pieces. LUCKILY her teacher is super nice, super sweet, so so so wonderful and if it wasn't for her I would have been an even bigger wreck then I already was. She took Brooklynn, and Ryan and I left. The minute I got into the truck to head home I broke down and balled my eyes out. Leaving your child when their crying for you not to go is so hard. But I had too, I knew it would be good for her and that she would have fun. I cant say enough nice things about her teacher, she makes learning fun and does the cutest crafts with the kids! When we went back to pick her up she was all smiles and had a blast. She loves pre-school! I cant believe my Brooklynn goes to school. Right now she only goes 2 days a week for a few hours but it will definitely help prepare her for kindergarten. I better get hold of myself!!! I was crying over 2 day a week pre-school...can you imagine me when she begins kindergarten. Ah! yikes!
