Step Back

So, Brigid is three for three on uneventful preschool drop-offs! She has no problem just turning her back on whichever one of us is leaving her there for the morning, to go play with whatever awesome toy or awesome new friend catches her eye first! So easy! No drama! A lot of ego bruising, sure. But no drama!

This was the conversation I had with my mother-in-law at 9:15 this morning, after she'd said goodbye to Brigid and left her to her four hours of schooling. Easy as pie, right?

Oh, hello there, Smug Sally...you might want to hold off on that conversation next time...

UNTIL YOU'RE SURE YOUR KID CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE ENTIRE FOUR HOURS, FIRST.

Guess whose mother-in-law got a phone call an hour and a half into the day, to come pick up a toddler who wouldn't stop sobbing, 'I tired'? Oh, right, that would be mine.

Poor kid. She's really going to have to start getting herself to sleep before 10PM, now isn't she?

  1. Aw, poor baby. So adorable, and yet, so tired. ;)

    When you figure out how to get her to go to sleep before ten, you let me know.
