My Baby is starting first grade tomorrow!

She's your first, Beautful, which is always more difficult and you could be right in saying that your hormones don't help right now. She's looking forward to learning and also growing up. She obviously understands how much you love her company and feels your distress at her imminent absence from your daily routine, but that's not a bad thing for her to feel the strength of your love for her. She's going to be so excited coming home after the first day, and I just know she'll miss you too. The best thing for you to do is to busy yourself in preparation for the new babies, so that you can take your mind off what she's doing a little, and not miss her so much. I know it's hard but it comes to us all, my friend. Huggggggs and brightest blessings. All will be fine.

It is a great milestone for a child to begin with her first grade at primary school, where she will begin her step on the way to learning basic knowledge about the country and its culture and the world. It is a good thing for your child. You know, she seems to be mature to say that she needs to go to school, which is a good beginning and sign for her. She will be certainly a very good pupil. Therefore just be happy for that, dear friend.

You are not being pathetic! What you're feeling is so normal ! And the fact that you are expecting, also plays with your hormones a bit. It's always a shock when we are so used to be with our little ones all the time and suddenly they're growing and in school all day. But although it's going to feel like the minutes are hours in the first week, slowly it will feel better. She will be coming home filled with excitement telling you all that happened in her day and asking you new questions...I don't know when she will get home where you are, but in here my kids were home at 3:30 and I had all the rest of the day to enjoy them, it wasn't as bad after the first week:) At the beginning it gave me an opportunity to rest a bit and to catch up on things that I didn't have the change to do when they were with me all day, and that helped as well. IN time I was as excited as they were, guessing or wondering what they would have to tell me that day as I picked them up :):):) Just hand in there and during the first days try to find some things that will help distract you a bit so the time passes faster. My daughter is 17 now. She spent last year in Portugal with my mom. It was quite painful to let her go, but I am happy I did and again although it was very hard in the beginning, after a while I felt a litte better. She's back now but I have to start thinking that next year she might be going to university and again it's going to be difficult, but we will be able to sail that in a positive way.
