I knew this day would come...

I dropped Acadia off at school today and for the first time ever, she cried her eyes out when I tried to leave! She was playing with the chalk, like she normally does when she first gets there, and I bent down to kiss her, like always, and walked away and heard her saying, "Nooooo mama!" and she started running towards me with her little hands stretched towards me. It was so sad! I picked her up, and brought her to the reading corner and we read a couple of books together. I went to leave again, and she started crying again. The teacher picked her up and tried to comfort her, but she was still crying and reaching towards the door when I left :(

I thought about calling to check in, but figured that if she didn't calm down, they would contact me. When I picked her up at 12:30, the teachers said she had an awesome day with no tears - YAY! Let's hope Friday goes better!

I am about to be a new Mom and I can't wait for little stuff like that. Not that I want my kid to cry or anything but just that they want me and have a bond with me. Seems pretty amazing.
