I know how you feel, but it's ok to cry...I did it, my youngest started K5 3 weeks ago. They prepped the parents at a meeting a few nights before the actual day & said "let them walk into the school by themselves so they'll feel like big kids. They'll have name tags & teachers will help them get to their rooms by themselves." Well, they're not big kids...they're our babies.

The little 5th grader crossing guard opens the door to let her out in her little school uniform, I'm shouting for her to have a good day & I

love her (I'm clouding

up thinking about it)...I was fine until she looked back at me, flashed that smile & said "I love you, mama!" & walked in like a big kid...then here they came, the tears. The teenage daughter still in the car, I took her with me

...we were both drippy eyed when I dropped her off at her building. I cried when I dropped her off at her first day of "big school", too.

You're really kind of glad to drop them off at high school.

Good news though, there's a happy ending...she loves school, is having a blast, goes to bed early

...of course, I'm still up late, but I'm a night owl.
It'll be okay...

awww, you will not be alone. It'll be a happy/sad cry. Think of the happy parts -- this is exciting for her, she'll come home with new things to sit on your lap and share with you, you'll see new sides of her that make u luv her even more if that were possible AND she'll meet new friends that you can invite over to ooogle over your stockpile and have free cupcakes

It's been a long time since I sent DS on the bus on his first day. Every mom standing on that corner cried.
