Preschool Day 2

Today did not start off as well as yesterday.  Amaris didn't wake up early like she did yesterday - I had to wake her up.  And then despite her enthusiasm on the way to school, once we got there she definitely realized I would be leaving her there.  And she was not cool with that.

Seeing my struggles, her sweet little teacher came and took her, screaming, into the class room.  I "gomen-nasai-ed" my heart out as I left.  I hope her screaming fit didn't last long.  And I hope that it doesn't become "the norm" for her.  Yesterday, while sad, was much nicer - she just ran off into the classroom and didn't look back.

Part of me - the sucker mom part - thought to myself, "Oh, well, she doesn't want to go - I should just take her back home today."  Then the sensible part of me thought to myself, "No way, she isn't going to win this battle - school is school.  I am paying the tuition, she will ATTEND."
