Adventures in Calgary

Some days I feel like a total parenting failure. Today was one of those days. Transitioning both Jake and Molly into new school situations is definitely taking it's toll on me. Today was Jake's first day at the Tuscany Preschool. I stayed with him the entire class. I attempted leaving about every 10 minutes...he would have none of it. I was tired myself and couldn't handle his tears. My good friend likes to remind me that I am the parent and I need to be more firm with him. I can't seem to do it. I don't know if it's guilt over not having listened to Molly when she was young and unhappy with her dayhome and seeing the effect that has had on her to this day. All I know is that I have to find a way to be stronger for both of us.
