First Day of School

I honestly don’t know how other parents do it.  I got Saiya up early this morning to get ready for my first day back at work and her first day of school.  She woke up really well, I was surprised she wasn’t grumpy.  I packed her back pack last night with a blanket, Yoshi, her favorite book, and a change of clothes.  She put on her back pack and climbed into the car.  She was fairly happy until we pulled into the daycare parking lot.  She hopped out of the car and frowned.  I think she knew what was up.  We met with one of the teachers who showed me how to check her in and stuff and then we took her to the classroom.  I tried to put her down and she didn’t want to stand on her own.  Finally, the teacher took her from me and she started scream “Mama! Mama! Mama!” as I made a break for the door.  I closed it as quickly as I could and headed down the hall to sign her in.  I could hear her screaming for me as I walked to the front of the building.  It took all my willpower and strength to walk out the front doors and not turn around to go get my daughter.

I feel like a horrible parent!  I had to call my sister just for some reassurance.  Haha!  Still feeling pretty bad though.  Maybe tomorrow will be better???
