The daughter did not want me to leave this morning after I dropped her off at school. All seemed fine and well UNTIL I made a break for the door.

She was attached to my leg like Velcro (tm).
Dammit
We walked outside and I told her to have fun with her friends. Oh no. It was a "cling to mommy like static" morning. I picked her up and told her to give me a big giant hug and kiss. She did with giggles and smiles. Downside, she wouldn't let go. It was a Looney Tunes cartoon moment. The kid was hanging off my neck like a monkey - giggling and laughing. A teacher finally came over and we pryed the baby off of me.
She bawled; I left.
I waved to her as I drove by the playground. Her little boo-boo face followed the car as she waved back to me.
Watch ... tonight I'll pick her up and she'll want nothing to do with me.
At least I got the hug and kiss this morning.

We went to Bean's pre-K orientation this morning, and I got the same deal as she was led off to color and play with her new classmates, while mommy had to go fill out paperwork.
Ay, ay, ay.
Mox - She is a sweet kid and I would rather spend time with her. but she loves school so i don't feel TOO bad (just a little). Oh, and I have just one little one.
CP - Lovely.
This is year two for Dinks. You'd think she knew the routine by now!?!?
Nah. This is year three for Bean, and she starts kindergarten next fall. After a whole summer "off," they're in "mommy mode."
I am looking forward to next Monday (when she actually starts pre-K), but I'm also sort of teary about it...it's her last real "Baby" year.
*sniffle*
Time to have another one!
I'd love to have another one. Geo on the other hand .... let's just say he likes the "one is plenty" theory.
Moxie - I was on drugs when the baby was born. i didn't feel a thing until eight hours later. And I felt the pain for three weeks after that.
But you are right. Looking at the little crumb snatcher, I would do it again.
