My heart is aching!

Last night I polished our nails and drew a heart on one of our nails and a moon on the other, and told them to look at them during the day, because it meant mommy loved them to the moon and back. I also made them picture books for them to have during the day.

Both girls were so excited this morning. Sunshine had not trouble, she just walked right in and started playing and going down the indoor slide, but she’s familiar with the teachers and room, as she just transferred to the 2-3 yo room and she would visit the room often.

Here is where my heart begins to break. My Sweetie Pie was a different story, first day in this school. She was okay at first, but once she realized that she was staying, she broke down and cried. She grabbed on to me and wouldn’t let go. She begged me with tears in her eyes to not leave her. I told her I loved her and that I would pick her up in the afternoon, that I will always come back to get her. She watched me walk away; she had a helpless and tearful look on her face. I walked away in tears! Heck I’m still in tears as I type this.

I just called one of my friends whose child also goes to her classroom and she said that my Sweetie Pie was still crying for her mommy. – That was ½ hour after I dropped her off. Why do they have to go to school??? Why do they have to grow up?????

Should I go get her during lunch and bring her back with me? I could go during their nap time to see her, but I’m afraid what it could do to her.

I hate this feeling!!!
