Jenna's Pocket

Here is my happy girl today right before school.  She has a heart with a kiss on it from me tucked in her pocket.  This is my attempt in keeping away the tears and the fear from Jenna as I drop her off to school.  For some unknown reason over the last few weeks (really few days due to snow) Jenna has not wanted me to drop her off at school.  She'll hold my hand and won't let me out of her sight when I drop her off.  Yesterday it took 45 minutes and at a point the teacher holding her back before I felt comfortable leaving her.  Thing is, once she is home off the bus she is all smiles and happy about her day and ignores my questions as to why she is sad when I leave her.  This is my first experience with this.  Amelia, Ava and Jenna (up until now) have all loved everything about school. The only thing I can connect with her tears is that an assistant teacher in her class left at the end of January.  Jenna did tell Amelia yesterday she missed this teacher.  I am happy to report that today was fine.  I hope tomorrow will also be fine.  This is stressful for me and obviously a stressor for Jenna.
