Phoebe walked into her classroom like she owned the place- no hesitation, no hiding behind Mommy, no way! She looked around, assessed the situation, shrugged off her backpack, and jumped right in! It was all I could do to grab a quick hug and a kiss before she took off, immersed in the excitement of it all! I did exactly the two things that I told myself I was NOT going to do when I dropped her off: I cried, and I told the teacher all these things about Phoebe that she didn't really need to know- you know, like how she likes to hold her blankie, what she says when she needs to go potty, how she acts when she's tired, how she interacts with kids at home and at the Y, and all these other irrelevant things...blast! But the teachers were very patient with me, listening, smiling, and nodding...boo hoo!! My baby's growing up!!
