When the time came for us to formally SEPARATE, the child just looked at me and walked away. I watched her sit down to play over at the playdough table and wondered if she really understood me, that I was leaving the room (for a whole hour!). I went and kissed her again and said goodbye, but she hardly looked up. Not that I'm surprised, when we left the house this morning she yelled "YAY SCHOOL!" on the way out. She has been itching to get into the classroom after seeing her big sister go in there and play all of last year.
I was asking her about her very first school day while I was putting her down for her nap this afternoon and we talked about one or two of the other kids who were crying. She seemed quite concerned and understood that they were crying for their mommies. Then, with a grin she said,
"I crying too Mama." Followed by a giggle.
"I cryyyying..." Smile.
Yeah right.
Here are the girls as we were leaving this morning:
Then I said "Show me your backpacks" and they both did this:
Then I got them to turn around...
These DORA! THE! EXPLORAH! backpacks were revenge from my brother-in-law after we gave his boys matching (and slightly garish) Thomas the Tank Engine onesies. Anyway, they love them, and they were indeed worn to school and back today.
Here's hoping tomorrow goes as smoothly....
