A tissue please

So today was Hadley's first day of kindergarten. We had been preparing for this, talking about it, reading a few books on kindergarten. We headed out to the ice cream social very excited to meet her new teacher, who turns out is Mrs. Jepson. Hadley saw her classroom, played on the playground and we very excited for school to start. Last night we got all her stuff out, her school bag, supplies, outfit and Hadley let me know what she wanted in her lunch bag.
Made our way to school this morning, she was very excited and ready to go. She was happy to find her hook and placed her bag on it, put her lunch bag where it goes, placed her water bottle on her table, and was happy. Then, Mommy told her I had to go..Hadley was not so happy! She gave me a big hug, clinging to my neck. I got her back to her table and said I would wait until another kid came to her table. Within 3 minutes two other kdis came that were at her table. Second attempt to leave, Hadley's face got sad and she said that she wanted Mommy to stay. This is where Mommy's heart started to break. I held back the emotions and got her playing with the other kids at the table and Jason looked at me and said, "We just need to leave." So I told her I would be there to pick her up after school, blew her a big kiss and walked off. She didn't get up this time, so I think she is okay. That is the worst part, you leave them there, thinking (and knowing) they are okay. I made it to the car before some tears fell..and then was okay. Once I walked in the door at home I realized...my Hadley wasn't her with me anymore. My buddy who I have done everything with the last 6 weeks is at school. I knew being home with her this summer would make it harder, but I wouldn't change the time we had together. So here are the many pics...
