Nervous or Excited?  

My kids are all over the map. When my daughter started preschool I was more nervous than she was. When we dropped her off she went right in and played, we barely got a hug goodbye from her. When we picked her up she was so mad that she didn't talked to us the whole way home. We were so excited to find out how her first day went and she wouldn't tell us anything lol. But then sometimes she gets nervous. I signed her up for this jump-a-thon event they have at the school. When we got there she took one look at how many kids were there and started crying. I couldn't get her to participate at all. My middle one starts preschool this year so it should be interesting to see how she handles it. She is excited to go, but I'm thinking when the time comes to actually drop her off that she is going to cling to my leg.

My third son was very nervous but once he reached somwhere he was o.k. My first son was more outgoing and my son in the middle just went along with anything so he and the third were always a team. I expect that she is home now and I hope that it went well for her. When my children are anxious then I am anxious too. I'm still a mother hen although I don't show this to them. Right now, my daughter will be signing her contract with the university and I am clock watching - longing to call her and see how it went. I am still longing to hear if you received the photos that I emailed you yesterday? You may not have as I am practising. I sent you photos of my garden and one of my grand twins. Let us know how she did today.

I remember I cried first day of school that my little sister went..lol She cried too. She gets scared I know because she gets clingy yet excited..but she always wants us there when she goes somewhere. It is easier for her if she has friends or family to be with her.

It really depends on the situation. When my daughter started ballet/tap class she was REALLY excited. When she decided she wanted to do the extreme WEB at the mall she was nervous, scared, excited all at the same time. Most of the time she is game to try new things.
