Good luck with all that EDITING for your EDITOR (some words just need that capitalization to connote their great importance). :)Shalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907680428735740943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-24213459541944814652011-08-16T19:41:38.619-07:002011-08-16T19:41:38.619-07:00Hope both your kids enjoy their first day, and tha...Hope both your kids enjoy their first day, and that your letter comes soon!Sarah Tokeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273148070092101085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-15892939958503634742011-08-16T18:34:57.074-07:002011-08-16T18:34:57.074-07:00I don't think my mom cried when I went to pres...I don't think my mom cried when I went to preschool or kindergarten - I was the one doing the tantrum-throwing and crying. Ha ha. Mi mama, on the other hand, was just looking for a place that would keep her (then) first and only child safe and occupied for at least a few hours of the day so that she could work and earn a living. Coincidentally, this was in Japan, the very place you spoke of on your blog :D I absolutely LOVED it there, and I SO SO wish I could go back. I spent the first half of my childhood there, and went to school and everything and became fluent in Japanese. How amazing of an experience is that? I just wish I remember it enough to write about it - just imagine the stories that would come of that kind of a once-in-a-lifetime type of thing, right? <br /><br />All the best for Dino Boy and Ninja Girl. Love those nicknames, by the way. Do they know that their writing mother writes about them? :Dmisticalniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770660585742451659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-25548403492997235312011-08-16T13:58:35.656-07:002011-08-16T13:58:35.656-07:00As long as you wear the awesome gray boots while y...As long as you wear the awesome gray boots while your editing the book. <br /><br />With my first kid, I didn't cry but still had a hard time letting go. After he got on the bus I felt like I'd lost an appendage. My second child was easier, but I don't love her any less.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399082789777816445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-33108788995454538802011-08-16T13:13:42.644-07:002011-08-16T13:13:42.644-07:00Hooray for good changes! :)Hooray for good changes! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-38030636163150896232011-08-16T12:44:09.138-07:002011-08-16T12:44:09.138-07:00I don't think I'll cry either.

You won't know what to do. Then you might do something crazy like vlogging again. ;)<br /><br />My daughter goes to preschool this year and I don't think I will cry. I am excited for her because she is so excited about it.
