my sweet and sad moment at daycare this morning

KathrynMD · December 2010

DD is moving to the 2s room on Monday and this morning her toddler teacher (who's been with her since she was ~6 mo) took me on a little tour of the 2s room and showed me Ellas new cubby and what room I'll do drop off in and introduced me to the new teachers etc. Of course I got all teary and started crying and Ella kept saying "Mommy crying" and looking sad - then she started patting my back and saying Shhhhh Shhhhh - I'm sad to see her growing up, but I was so pround of how sweet and empathetic she was being trying to comfort me.
