Went to Babygirl's school this morning for backpack drop off.  Babygirl was SO excited to see her teacher and to be back at school!  She just cannot wait until she gets to go back on Friday.  We will see if she is ok with me leaving her, or if she is going to want Mommy to stay like she did last year!

I'm thrilled that she is so happy to be going back, but I am sad because it means less time with her.  I guess that is the life of a Mom though.  It is my choice to send her to school.  I am quite certain that if I decided to undertake the task of homeschooling Babygirl I could be quite successful at teaching her.  With all the resources online and an Aunt who a few years ago retired after 20+ years of teaching I would have tons of great support AND get to spend lots of time with my child.  Yet I choose not to do this.  I feel that my daughter will benefit more from being taught by someone else and from being around other kids her age.  I just cannot duplicate the socialization that she gets at school, and I feel that it is equally important to learn to work with others.

I'll still miss her.
