My daughter started kindergarten also this week. No tears for her but she has been exhausted. I, of course, cried once she was on the bus and it drove away. It's all good now.

Poor thing ;) she's a female so a little drama is sometimes okay Momma! When I taught PE I'd laugh because the boys just wanna play, the girls have to have shoes tied, hair fixed, be with their BF as a partner, etc! SO cute! She is NOT alone...I'm sure it's more norm than ya think ;)

I've been seeing all over my facebook feed the difficulties / challenges my friends have been dealing with their kindergartners, so you're not alone. When I was in preschool *apparently* I had to dress similar to my teacher everyday. (pants, skirt, dress etc) One day my teacher forgot and wore something diff than what she told my mom. I threw a fit and mom had to bring a change of clothes... I grew out of that phase thank goodness and so will your daughter's tears.

If I worked with you I'd be on the sidelines with those pull ups too- so jealous

So sorry about your daughter. It does sound like the worst is over, but still it has to be hard for both of you. At least it sounds like she has a great teacher.

I am not surprised you could do a pull up. You are ripped!!!

My daughter did fine her first several days of kindergarten, but the second week was horrible. She started getting upset as soon as she got home. Didn't want to eat dinner or breakfast, and cried all the time. One morning I had to carry her on the bus and set her on the seat crying. I went back and forth between anger and tears. But it got better eventually. And it will get better for you guys too.

<3 I'm sorry your daughter is having a hard time. There will definitely be an adjustment period if she hasn't been in a formal school setting before, and I hope it's over soon. A friend of mine made matching mother-daughter bracelets with her daughter to create something special for her daughter to think of if she gets lonely at school (kind of like The Kissing Hand, but in bracelet form). Maybe something like that would help if the tears start again?

It makes me smile to see how attached your daughter is. I am making sure to enjoy these times when my kids think I am awesome because I know I will be significantly less cool when they are teenagers.

Kindergarten can be tough but she will be fine after another week or so. Sometimes it's harder on us moms than anything else;) Way to go on your pull up and dips!

Why is raising kids so hard....on us, they seem slightly unfazed by the whole bit. As I am sure she will be moving on from this rough patch soon and it will nothing but a memory.
I have seen that song circling the web and I was didn't want to click on it cause I knew I would cry. Until today.
I cried.
Like a baby. So sweet.

Sorry your little one is having a tough time! I've been fortunate to have kids who have never had those issues, but let me tell you, I still cry when they head off for the year and they are in 7th and 3rd grades!

TEARS!!!! That was beautiful.

This reminds me so much of my kids. How sweet is it that your daughter keeps your pictures at school! Oh my goodness that made me smile. My middle son had a tough time adjusting. He always has but it's adorable to me.

Your poor daughter. I remember how traumatizing it was when I went to a new school in 6th grade. Kindergarten has to be tough if you don't know anyone, too!
