I'm an absolute mess!

Just dropped DS off at DC for the first time. I cried when I pulled up and cried the whole way home... I miss my baby so much already and I've only been away from him for 10 minutes! DH put him down so he could go play and we stayed to make sure he would settle in fine. When we got ready to leave he wouldn't even give me kisses

And I kept saying "alright, mama is leaving come tell me bye" finally a little girl looks at me and says "BYE!" I took that as my cue to leave lol

I know how it feels. But you'll do fine as will your son. Take a moment, pull into a parking lot, cry (you'll feel better), and then treat yourself to a coffee (you'll feel even better). A lot of us have been there - it does get easier. And you'll love the end of your day so much more now!

That makes me feel a lot better. I've been looking forward to today all weekend because there is so much stuff I can get done today (I'm off today because of MLK day but since we're paying for the whole week we decided to go ahead and send him in case he has a meltdown or something) but when the day actually came it just hurt so bad to leave him... especially with people IDK

This is so true! It's my favorite part of the day, now!

It does get easier. One of things that really helped me was LO's first day my DH spent the entire day there with her. He knew every moment of the day and all of the kids and teachers when he got home.

So I recommend if you can spend even an hour or two there observing this afternoon do it. You will feel better seeing a sampling of the day with your own eyes.

I hadn't even thought to do that! That is a wonderful idea.. Thank you so much!

Hope it helps you with the transition as much as it helped me.

It's really hard at first but gets so, so much easier. I was a mess my first fee days too. But he'll learn so much and have a blast there I know. Hugs!!
