first day of KG

i thought i was ready for the first day of KG.  I am not "that mom" who cries at things.  I guess I thought I was not that mom.  But when we walked up to the school and said a sign that said "Welcome Class of 2019"  I got immediately teared up.  I was lucky to have my oversized Target sunglasses on today!  I went into the classroom with Emma and Jack went into a different classroom with our son Jack.  This was done strategically because we knew that Jack would be getting upset when it was time to say goodbye.  Jack does not handle transition well.  I keep saying that Emma had already written her speech for KG class president while I knew Jack would cry.  Sure enough, after I said good bye to emma I went into jack's room.  When it was time to leave he immediately burst into tears and clung to me.  He cried and cried and begged me not to leave him there.  He also wanted to know when I would be returning.  He is going to have a very long first day....they are there all day for the first time.  Emma was great....she did hug me extra long when I said goodbye but she did not get teary.
