It is my baby's first day of school... and I am fighting back tears (who am I kidding, the tears are flowing). I sat and heard her name called and off she went, comforting another little girl that was crying on their way to the gym.
And with that my heart broke... not for her but for me. I can not type more as this is killing me...

Awww!!! Poor you :( I still have lots of babies over here so feel free to come on by for a cuddle ;)
Thanks Jennifer ... I may show up on your door step! today I am renting a baby at 11am ... to keep me busy and help out his mommy.
I just wandered over here from Authorblog and I can feel your pain - even though I have never met you. Parenthood is interesting - we raise children to be independent beings but boy, does it hurt to watch them leave the nest!It gets easier...sort of!
Take care.
Hugs to you! I know how hard that first day can be. Heck, the first week, even! But think of the genuine compassion and respect she showed her classmate, and how she's learned that lesson from you! Then think about all the exciting things about this new time in her life - the things she's learning and the people she's meeting - that she'll come home excited to tell you about! It's so, so, so, so (I can't put enough 'so's' in!) hard to let go of them and give their hand to another who will have them to influence and help. I still cry when my boys take off on that first day, and I've had to do this now for awhile (and, ok, more than a week into the new school year, the inclination to cry sometimes is still there!), but you've done a great job with her! Every day will get better!
awwwww, i remember i cried when each of my kids started school, it's hard on the moms. but, being a good mom is also encouraging growth, which is what is about to happen.
