WOO-HOO! No tears today!!

Today, i dropped Emma off at her classroom for her (my) Mother's Day Out morning. The past few weeks, there have been tears, wailing, crying as i've left her with Ms. Cindy but today, you ask?

No crying. No wailing. Her little eyes filled with tears, but she didn't cry.

She toddled off to read a book with Ms. Cindy, glutching Duck-Duck in her hand.

I go between feeling happy that i have the five hours to myself to feeling like the worse Mommy in the world because i have those five hours to myself. I do think, though, that the Mother's Day Out Program at the church is a good thing for her; she gets the chance to interact with other children and play on the church playground. Emma is always smiling when i sneak in to see her before pickup time...and that's a good thing.

But i do miss her when she's there....and i love how she calls me "Mama" when she sees me at pickup.
