When Emily started preschool (and she was/is super-duper attached to me) the house was it total turmoil for a week. She'd cry at night, cry when she woke up, cry when I dropped her off, but it was SO good for her to separate and get in school. What calmed her down was singing Frosty or Rudolph (she started in January). And I don't sing, but I sang a lot of those drives to school. It'll get better and easier...<br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5873261834399811485.post-8008451556466446982010-09-01T20:42:17.281-04:002010-09-01T20:42:17.281-04:00Deep, deep breath, Suzanne! You're a fantastic...Deep, deep breath, Suzanne! You're a fantastic mom doing just what you should be doing for your two beautiful daughters. <br /><br />Have no worries about the importance of your work as a stay-at-home mom being diminished by your children attending school. I think that our work continues and even intensifies as we continue to guide our kids and help them to navigate the external influences that from now on we won't be able to control. You've given Ella and Maya the gift of unlimited time with you since they were born and it will serve them well.
