Hard to leave him in school when he is still cring & wanting me to stay with him. However, as time goes by, he loves going to school. I believe you will soon get used to it & feeling relieved to have a few good hours of peace & do things that you missed doing whileJ@n!cehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559251397816135134noreply@blogger.com
