It was your first day of Montessori school Jimena (only an hour) and you were very excited. We woke up on schedule, ate a good breakfast and put on your uniform. You looked so adorable, making faces at the camera, telling Moises how you were going to school. By 8 we were driving and made it just in time to school...the lady greeted you at the door and you waved at her smiling. She took you by the hand and you were off, by yourself, alone to take on this new challenge. I was scared but mostly excited since I had convinced myself it was better for you, even though I still thought you were to young. Well the hour quickly passed and Dad, Moises and I were waiting patiently to pick you up, sitting waiting, wondering how you were. Out you came by the teachers hand and on your face a little sadness and as soon as you saw us a flat out cry. She had gotten anxious the last 15minutes of the hour, "where's mom" she would ask," y mama?" the teacher explained to us. "Its going to get better," she insisted. I don't know, I was heart broken, here I thought you were so ready and yet still your so small. I missed you and you missed me. Did I make a mistake by sending you off even when I was doubting. I love you Jimena, I didn't mean to send you, if I could I would teach you myself as I do already. I know it was just the first day and even though I saw some kids coming out smiling, I have to remember that your not those kids and I should never compare you to anyone but yourself and will ask you to be know one but the person God created. We will try it again tomorrow because even though you cried out "no quiero ir a la esculea" later that day you all so told your dolls that you were going to school "poquito". Remember that I love you and if you ever feel uncomfortable with anything let me know so I can correct it, change it or just make it better for you. Your my little girl and I never want to break the relationship we have. If you don't want to go, we wont.
