WHEW!!   I'm not the only one!!  I cried like a baby the first day of Kindergarten this year, for my oldest.....and today was just as tough for me!  Although, it was easier for my son (and his friends) who are not nearly as emotional as girls....I had to put my sunglasses on inside the class during the final goodbye with the teacher and the kids....I took the video camera to record it all....and the camera for the final pictures of my oldest with his first "real" teacher - for his scrapbook.  Somehow, I don't think it will be easier for me with my next son, who is about to start his final year at the preschool - and is anxiously awaiting the day he gets to go to Kindergarten!

I just tried my best to keep the tears in check....although, it was a challenge!  Once my hubby gets home I'll be able to really let it go, and at least have a good cry in the bathroom - ALONE!  ;0)  I have tried to keep it in perspective and remember that each of us starts out in school, my mom did this with me....and I know lots of other mom's doing the same thing.  Record it all and keep it all in writing!  This is my sanity saver....journal the heck out of life, and record every little thing.  It will be a great thing to look back one day and read about every little milestone.
