Here she is at her desk...ready for me to leave!

So, the question is - Did I completely make an idiot of myself crying today? And the answer is a resounding YES! I seriously don't think sending her to Kindergarten is that terribly sad but the tears would NOT stop flowing. I can't even begin to count how many times I spontaneously burst into tears. It was bad enough that Ella said I was embarrassing her and also asked to ride the bus! She made it and I made it though. She LOVED her teacher and had a great day. On the downside, I had to wait in the "car rider line" for an hour and fifteen minutes. When I finally got to her (and was crying) her teacher said she had a great day and was very smart. Hopefully they can get some kinks worked out so it won't take so long!
