Meet the teacher night did not bring tears for Miss G but for her Mama. Why? MY BABY IS GOING INTO THE SYSTEM! It as though she's all grown up and moving out of the house and I'm losing her FOREVER.
Well, that isn't true and I know it but I feel like 5.5 years have just BLOWN away. I feel like I worked too much, missed too much and should have done more with her.
I also worry about all of the things she'll be exposed to. Will she make friend(s) with kind, loving people or with ... others.
Is she strong enough to be light in the world (no, she isn't - yet).
I was emotional. She expressed it in different ways - naughty, distant, shy.
She didn't want to play with the other kids because she didn't "know them"! Well, honey, you are going to spend 5:7 days a week with these kids.
One kid came up and bit my arm with a toy snake hard enough to hurt. I was surprised! A stranger. I was pleased to see this face in her room - a biracial girl with braids and a white Mama but...now I have visions of her teaching my daughter naughty things and handing out condoms in 4 years.
I know it will be OK - well, I hope it will be. I pray for that.
I LOVE her teacher. She was wearing a starfish necklace and that made me smile.
G was the last to leave the room. LOVED playing on the playground. Didn't want to leave and cried on the way to the car.
Was sad that Nicky (her preschool friend) won't be in her class but he'll be 2 doors away.
And, well, in one week she'll be a little bit further away from the nest.
