Mags loves her Momma

Yes, that is surely true. Maggie loves her Momma. A little too much. She really is the sweetest thing, and it breaks my heart to see her so sad, but Maggie does not like being away from me. She can even be sitting on my lap and ycrying Mommy. Not sure how much closer she wants to get... the womb?

Still, when I drop her off at school, after one month (well, really she started when she was fifteen months, so 1 1/2 years) of school, she still cries, and cries hard. She says, "I want to go with you Mommy. I want to go to the gym. I will be good." It would be so much easier to just take her with me. Dropping her off does not give me a free day, I still have B, so I am limited in what I can do anyway. A lot of times I am just going to the gym where I already pay for her babysitting, so, why not? Well, because I KNOW in my MIND it would be a bad precedent to set, but in my heart (and my tired body) I say what the heck... let's skip school today. I haven't done it yet, but I am close. (Well, I did already drop her out of Wednesdays because her little friend is not in school that day!)

I wish Mags could cope with change better. I am hoping it is just a 2 year old (or at least toddler thing) but she really is painfully shy at some times. And what is so weird, is if she is comfortable, she is so darn outgoing and talkative you have to beg her to be quiet. She is so loud and chatty. It really is strange. She also goes from being perfectly happy to totally flipping out in a heartbeat. You never know what will trigger it. Weird, crazy, exhausting.

But then it just breaks my heart to see her little self sad. She is so darn cute otherwise. And her teachers say once school starts, she is great, a real class leader. Who knows? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in her class and really see how she is doing.
