Olivia has suddenly reverted back to a newborn to me and I can't imagine putting her on that bus........

I can't eat, didn't sleep last nite and really just want to get in bed and pull the covers over my head

Insanemomof3 replied: Tristan started last week but I felt the same way. I even felt sick all day long. Hope you have a good day though and hope she has fun!

luvbug00 replied: Mya rode the bus for the first time ever today. She was petrified but once she got on and she got really excited and smiled and waved out the window. I just kept telling her she would be fine and she was.

redchief replied: Good luck to all the new kindergarten moms and their new students!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I can't imagine putting my child on a bus. Many hugs to you!! I'm sure she will be fine!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: nope - truth be told, i'm relieved the 2 older kids are gone.

gr33n3y3z replied: I was sad when mine got on the bus but then I got thinking this is good for both of us so that took most of the stage away for me but it took time to get use to my little side kick not with me all the time any more

Mommy2BAK replied: aww you poor thing. I'm sure Olivia will do great!

Hugs to you!!!

luvmykids replied: Hope it goes well for both of you!

lisar replied: Olivia will do just fine. Just stay strong.

moped replied: I was crying for the kids on the Breakfast News this morning - I am so sorry you are sad.......she will be ok

msoulz replied: When my son first started school he was a tiny 4 year old and he did not want us to meet him at school or show up in any way (of course we spied on him). It was very emotional!! I wonder if it will be the same with Erin? Now that I am familiar with the school, teachers, and others I don't know if I will be so anxious.

I do tend to get all teary at pretty much every school event, so odds are I'll be a blubbery mess!!!

Calimama replied: It'll get easier after the first day.

lovemy2 replied: Thanks everyone for the hugs - I am not quite sure why I am sooo crazy about this - she has been going to daycare since she was 16 weeks old - granted always with my girlfriend until she was almost 3 but she has always been away from me during the day but for some reason this is different- the bus, the sign that she is growing up - its the beginning of her whole life it seems....I know she will do great - she is a smart kid who adjusts well - I keep thinking of all the stuff I can get done in the afternoons on Fridays now (I don't work on Fridays) while Dylan sleeps but then can't imagine leaving the front door waiting for her to come home again

Will post pics tomorrow!!!!

coasterqueen replied: I was sad and depressed the night before. I knew what it was like to ride the bus, so the thought of her riding the bus didn't scare me - it was just her going to school that did. I did, however, follow the bus that first day to make sure she got to school alright. She wasn't scared in the least bit.
