Last Tue 8/30 as Katelyn’s first day of school (pre-school, actually). All week long, Suzanne & I have been telling her about her new school. The day before, her grandpa & I brought her to the school orientation with us. She was happily playing and exploring her classroom. So on her first day of school, she was actually happy and excited– dressed up and excitedly posing for pictures.

When we got to school and I handed her over to her teacher Ms. Bina, she was okay. Until, her daddy madea big deal of it– gave her hugs and madeher posing for pictures, she finally realized that I wouldn’t be there with her. And she began to cry. I walked her into the classroom and then quickly left (kicked out by the teacher was more like it).

I felt a weird mix of feelings as I drove back to work– aweful, guilty and proud all at the same time. My baby’s fist school day. Wow…

Here are some pics of her first day of school:/monthly/august_2005
