I guess I'm not much of a crier, because I didn't shed a tear last year when Princess was the first one to go to school. But then, she and IndieGirl had both been to full-time child care and mother's day out, so maybe that made it easier. I have no idea how I will handle the boys going to school. The Ugly Cry could become part of my story too.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605426195521274662noreply@blogger.com
