Well, today it happened. Anna-kate had her first day of "school" and Mommy had her first day of "work". I felt as though it all started out a little rough because I had to wake her up to get her going. I hate doing that. Tonight I put her to bed earlier in hopes that she'll wake herself up right as I'm about done getting myself together. Anyways, yeah, I had to wake her up. It wasn't THAT big of a deal but I just don't like it. She didn't seem to mind as much but she wasn't as alert as she would normally be...which isn't exactly good because I was about an hour away from leaving her for four hours :(. So we got there a little early, maybe like 1o minutes, and I got to spend some time in her classroom talking to her teacher. You know, giving her the yays and nays of Anna-Kate. It all seemed to be going well. She was on the floor playing, could careless whether I was trying to tell her bye bye or not and overall seemed pretty okay with the room- so I left. About two minutes later I hear her crying from across the hall (I was talking to a friend in her classroom). It was sooo sad. I wanted so bad to just go rescue her from the "mean room" but I couldn't. Really, it probably would've ruined the whole day if I would've. Anyways, I got myself together and went to my classroom.....which was STILL across the hall from her. I could look out of my door and into the little window in hers and see a teacher rocking her. It was relief and heartbreaking at the same time. I wanted to be rocking her! I pretty much heard her fuss all day. She didn't scream and cry the whole time but was whiney. It was so hard not to be able to comfort her. I wanted so badly to go in there and give them some little pointers on my kid. I did send a list of "loves" with her and I saw the teacher in the window with the list in hand digging through the closet of toys. Hahaha. It was kind of funny. When I went to pick her up she was in this toy gym saucer extravaganza thang and I called her name and she looked up and me and gave me this HUGE smile and started jumping up and down. It was so precious. Totally melted my heart and made it even harder for me to leave her tomorrow.
Now, about my day. My partnering teacher didn't show today so I was stuck with 6-4 year olds. It was pretty awesome. Hahaha. They were the most awesome, well behaved bunch of 4 year olds I've ever been around. We totally had fun.
My moops drinking her milk (she's totally off the bottle I just needed a back up this morning) before we left.
Me and moops
All in all, I'd say it was a pretty decent day. She's definitely going to have to get used to the whole thing....well, and me too. I hate being away from her but I know it's good for us.
