2nd day

*sigh*

Did not go as well at first, but I figured as well. You were the first one there and started to get weepy when I signed you in. You marched on through the gate, Miss Beth closed it and once you heard the click, the tears started streaming. I blew a kiss and around the door I went-just out of eyesight so I could *check in* on you.

You settled down pretty quickly and I left for the morning. Upon my arrival, you were all smiles and had a pretty good day, with the exception of the teary start. However, next time, you might want to settle down quickly or your pity party will include the rest of the class!

It will get better, sweet birdie.

Love,
Mama

100% ready

Dear Claire,

Today is your first day of school and from the priceless expression above, I know you are ready to go. It was such a delight to see you march right in to your classroom, find a spot at the puzzle table, and have fun right away. No tears from you, babe. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised by that!
Have fun, make new friends and miss your mama a little, okay?

Love,
Mom
