Emma's first day of kinder was like ripping a bandaid off for me. I think I even notated that in another blog post. I cried weeks leading up to it, the night before and the morning of. Since Emma has been home with me 90% of the time since being a year old it was much harder to let her go. She may look like her daddy and have many of his personality traits....she is an extension of me. To say the umbilical cord doesn't break but just grows is an understatement. Emma told me "you know I will always come back". She was simply talking about coming home from kinder every day but she won't know how profound that statement is until she is a grown adult out on her own. I truly believe her statement to me....she will always come back. We are her home no matter where she is or where we are. Not the physical place we lay our heads but us.
I say it was like ripping a bandaid off because after the first day I haven't cried again....I lie....as I am typing this I am crying. The emotions are very surface right now. I do see that she is doing so well and loving school. She was super happy the morning of and looking very "fancy" as she says!
