It's so hard to let them go, even to another classroom! But we encourage them, give them high-fives, and smile at them when they fall in love with their new teachers. Meanwhile, our hearts break. We want to be the ones they love! But that's selfish. <br /><br />Ah, children. Can't hold them prisoner, can't lock 'em out. Just got to prepare them and send them on their way, no strings attached.<br /><br />I love the pic where she's 'striking a pose', it's just fab!The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-28268292336196195082010-09-13T16:47:45.809-07:002010-09-13T16:47:45.809-07:00Aww Jenny, you are so right!Aww Jenny, you are so right!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810126999695733332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-8138431059921042022010-09-13T15:46:56.982-07:002010-09-13T15:46:56.982-07:00Awwww she's adorable!

We get to have ours about once a month for the weekend.
