Poor Grace. My poor baby. She is SOOOOO not ready for school. Every time the thought of school creeps into her little change-hating head she looks at me, with huge tears in her eyes, and says "Momma, you won't be there" and she starts to cry. : (
Could anything in the world be more sad than your sweet little blond haired, blue eyed doll baby crying because she has to go somewhere and I won't be there. I want to cry with her and tell her that if she's afraid I will be there... but I can't. I won't be there. It makes me so sad. It makes my heart sob. This is killing me a little.
I know that come Friday there will be sobbing and a little girl that wants nothing more than her Momma and I am going to have to look brave and usher her onto the bus without a tear in my eye. I also know that as soon as that bus pulls away my sunglasses are going on so I can hide the next two and a half hours of tears until my baby comes home.
Why is this all so hard???

Is there any way you can take them instead of putting them on the bus the first day? I know some schools here have the parents bring kids the first few days and then they start up the bus service.
Now you made me cry.
All I can say is that it will get better with time, for you and for her. In fact, she'll probably adjust faster than you will (because you're mom and you have to worry).
I'm looking forward to the after-the-first-day-of-school post.
