Turned A Corner

Today was a milestone.

I was dropping Lil Man off at school and before I left asked his teacher a question. When I got ready to leave, Lil Man acted as though he wasn't going to let me go (which is the normal routine). Ms G (his teacher) started to get up to get her hands on him so I could leave.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT???

My child threw up his hand, said "Bye!", and walked into his room to go play with his classmates.

Ms G: "He just said 'Bye'!" (Let me say she was excited and as shocked as I was.)

Me: half way yelling "Bye Baby!" and grinning like a fool.

Two months!! That's how long it took for this day to happen. I was almost in tears when I got to the car. I haven't once wanted to cry ...... not on the first day and not any day when I was leaving him crying. But today, knowing my child was cool and going into his class happy. Tears!

It's a good day!!!
