Tomorrow is the big day....

[holland_patrick]

Yes my daughter is going to school for the first day. I can`t believe it... Only yesterday it seems like I was holding her for the first time after she took her first breath.. I believed this was a good thing but now I`m feeling depressed.. No more will we be able to hang out eat a late breakfast and watch PBS together.. There will be time for that after school but the first 4 years went so fast I can`t help but think that next week she will be leaving for college. Not only that she will be the youngest in her class she was born on 01/01 so she JUST made the cut otherwise I would be going through this next year.. and I would have another year of time with my daughter.. If only she was born 2 hours later.. Not that she isn`t ready she is soo smart.. and really shines.. she will do well and I`m sure will be top of her class. I`m just saddened by my loss..

here are some pics of my little school girl..my helper..

She`s so cute!!! The first day is always the hardest, but in a week`s time it will be second nature. Well almost second nature.

Patrick,

She`s such a bright little charmer, I`m sure she`ll adjust just fine!! It`s you we`re worried about . . . maybe they need a classroom "dad"?? I was a CM for Bryce`s first year & it was a great way to keep in the know about all that was going on at the school & it helped to fill those hours til he came home. And the teachers at our school were really grateful for the help. You might want to look into it.

And yes, it was just "yesterday" & it will always be!!

I am happy for you. IT must be great to be able to be there for her. My son, the Little Detailer, had his first day of school. Although I was not there to see it first hand. My wife did take a few video`s of his first day. I have watched the video`s numerous times. I am happy for you and jealous all at the same time. Enjoy it!!

Patrick,
I know what you mean. My son had his first day last week. Pre-K.
After being the center of attention for so long, he has to go away for the day.
I will walk him into his class, and he starts crying.....
I can only tell him goodbye and give him a hug as he cry for me to stay. I have to walk fast to the door and shut it behind me so he will stay in the class. Then I turn around to see his teary eyes looking at me through the small glass window on the door.....tears my heart out.... Though, he has to get used to school now. Learn to interact more with other children and learn what the teacher has to offer......

It will be hard for a few more weeks until he is comfortable with everything.
I do go eat luch with ham at school sometimes, and a few of those times, he throws a fit and wants to leave when I have to go.....<sigh>

She is a beautiful little girl.

Been there, done that.

Ya steve was the late night call last night.. knowing he went though it twice in one day... and yes they have class room helpers and the teacher is going to get that going next week.

Too cute....

We had the unfortunate job of doing this very early on with out child... DAY CARE... Very tough to leave an infant with someone.. but we totally trust our provider and she has done an amazing job. Once he starts school, it will be 2nd nature to him... And he actually enjoys going to Daycare because there are kids there his age he can play with....
Trust me.. she will be fine once she gets used to leaving you....

Oh... and I still watch Boomerang when he`s not around... dont tell me wife!

[holland_patrick]

she had no problem at all.. just off and on to the bus..

[jaybs02]

She is a cutie...
I went through that last year with mine, time flies when we`re having fun, and there is the proof.

I`m sure she`ll do great

Yes, my shoulder was soaking wet through the phone

I went through this after leaving my kids at pre-school at age 2, yet they walked away towards the toys and school stuff without even turning around to say good-bye, the school bus was a breeze..now getting ready for second grade...we just have to remember when "IT`S TIME FOR THE BUS" and who`s going

Patrick, this cute little girl obviously has your wife`s genes doesn`t she?
