I was so emotional when LittleJuJu went off to preschool for the first time. It was only 2.5 hours twice a week, but I dreaded the day. I was so proud not to cry when we dropped him off (Hubby took the afternoon off work to be there) but after we said goodbye and headed to Borders for books and coffee ALL BY OURSELVES, I could begin to see the positives, and you will too!

I think it makes you a GOOD mom! I loved preschool and I learned so much there!

Both of my kids started preschool at 2 years old. It's amazing...they will learn so much and not only numbers and letters kind of learning, but how to listen and share and be a friend to other kids...it was a great experience for us! I hope it is a good experience for y'all too!!

Such a catch 22. I am sure she will have big hugs for you when she gets home.

It's always hard to make decisions like that, but I'm sure Julia will do fine and you'll be fine.

Maybe she'll get all tuckered out from playing that she'll take an extra nap when she gets home?

P.S. Oh, how I know the feeling of waiting for the clock to strike 3! (the time I take off from work to go pick up Ella)

Happy & sad.
