Monkey is officially "phased-into" her montessori daycare/preschool/school.
No more nanny. No more immaculately dressed Monkey waiting for me at home at the end of a long day. No more neatly folded baby laundry done for me by the nanny. No more running errands with both hands free after work. No more walking to work.
Now, I get Monkey ready for school and together we ride the subway to school. We fight the crowds, sweat in the humidity, deal with the rush-hour "traffic"....
But that isn't why I'm blue.
The reason I'm blue? (and yet, also so proud)??? Monkey didn't cry when I dropped her off at school this morning. She smiled, leaped into her teacher's arms, looked at me with that heart-breakingly beautiful smile...and waved bye-bye.
No tears, no separation anxiety - she was ready to go. Without me.

So happy she is adjusting to her new routine! Just wait till she gets on the big yellow school bus and doesn't look back...
Don't be blue...*hugs*
