Back to School.
Three little words that bring such a range of emotions.
Our daughter Valerie started Pre-K this week, and she couldn't wait! She had on her new polka dot dress, her new sneakers, and her new backpack. She was all smiles at the house, in the car, and at the school....until she saw a few of the other kids whimpering or holding on to their mom's legs. Then her little brain started to work. "What's up? Why are they upset? Maybe there's something I don't know about."
So as soon as it was time to march into class, the tears started. "No dad! I don't wanna go to school!" Oh great! We tried to calm her down and reassure her. But when it was time to go, Erin and I just had to say goodbye and leave her with the teachers. Thank goodness we got a call a little later that she was fine and having a blast. Phew! One day down.
So moms and dads, we now know what you've been going through.
Hang in there.
OR, if you're HAPPY that it's finally back-to-school time...ENJOY!
