I briefly thought the Open House did the trick. Grace had fun and she seemed much better about going. Then BAM... at dinner, out of nowhere the hysterics started again. She spent about four hours straight crying and sobbing. All she kept saying was "I am going to miss you SO much Mommy" and "I am never going back to school". Part of me wanted to cry with her and part of me wanted to throttle her. Took me back to last year.
Hopefully she'll have a good day and get herself back into the school schedule and routine. We'll see...

I hear you on the mixed feelings. It must seem cold to non-parent types, but when our kids go through these repetitive cycles of hysteria, it wears thin quick. At first I am empathetic and try to console, then after a while I get angry. I just think: fricken deal with it!!! The good news is that after the first or second day she'll be back on track so hang in there.
