Claire is now officially a school girl! She started at Beaches United Methodist Early Learning Center two days a week, Tuesday and Thursday. The first day went great! She walked right in and starting playing. The second day was the kicker, since she knew exactly what was going on.
Thursday was a rough drop-off. She started crying as soon as she saw her lunchbox and backpack out at home! She walked in the classroom crying and I just had to turn around and leave. The hardest part was that she tried to follow me out. It was so sad, and I cried and cried after I got in the car!
The good news was when I went back to pick her up, she was very happy and actually didn't want to leave! The teacher said she had stopped crying soon after I left and was fine the rest of the day.
As expected, with a whole weekend in between today's drop-off was bad, maybe a little worse. She didn't even want to walk in the door. I keep telling myself it will take some time, and that she does like it once she is there. It is tough being 2!
