i can honestly say that i was dreading this day all summer. i know it sounds crazy... but i really didn't want my baby going back to school. all for selfish reasons of course. it has been me and her for the past 6 years. now some other woman was going to be spending more time with my baby than i was. (how dare she) i was nervous, and anxious, a little excited, and VERY over protected. i can handle being away from her 3 hours a day, but 6 hours....way too long. but....i know it's time for me to let go:( so i did.(i really didn't have a choice) i was okay until we got to "her dot". she put her bag down and took off to go play until the bell rang. rene turned to me and said "look at her, she just took off." and i said "just let her go." i realized that i had to let her go, so i did and i started to cry like a little baby. what a wimp. adriana on the other hand was more than ready to go. she could not wait till school started and was soooooo happy and excited. she felt at home. she was truly in her element. after rene gave her a blessing she later turned to me and said "okay mom i think i'm ready now." we are so blessed to have her in our lives. such a sweet, sweet child.

Love that pic of ur hubby holding the kids' hands!
It's ok to cry, i cried last year when my baby (Aaron, now 16) went off to school, he asked me to drop him off at school (he was entering the 10th grade) after i dropped him off i went on to work and cried half ways to work. i guess that's a mom thing. You have that bond with your kids and you just get emotional & sentimental about everything they do as they are growing up.
