Sydney's second day of school

Last week Sydney started attending the Ledyard center nursery school. She goes on Mondays and Wednesdays but we had a snow day on Wednesday. I wasn't happy that we'd have to start all over after having a pretty good start on Monday. We walked into the building and to the classroom door. So far so good. I took off her coat and she went straight inside the classroom. Ms. Cometa reminded Sydney she had to come back out of the room to wash her hands first and that's when she broke down. She came out of the room and wanted to go to the exit door instead. Ms. Cometa had to come pick her up and take her to the bathroom as I left. About an hour later I got a call from the center saying Sydney was having some trouble and was crying off and on. They asked if I could come stay with her or I could take her home if I wanted to. When I got there the class was in a different play room. I saw Sydney and she was crying, holding her family photo and walking around with her bookbag on. It broke my heart. She saw me and came right over. She then pointed out a large, purple plush horse that a classmate had brought in to share. She told me "horsie". I asked her what color it was to help keep her calm. She said purple and started bawling again. When it was time to leave the room and go back to the classroom Sydney just fell apart trying hard not to go back in the classroom. I thought that was enough for one day, we'll pick back up on Wednesday. There was only about 10 minutes left before the end of class so she didn't miss too much.
In the afternoon when I talked to her about school she shared that she read "The Kissing Hand", had a cookie for snack, and danced to the hokey pokey. I know she is enjoying school. She just has to get used to enjoying it without me. At least for two hours, twice a week!
