If she is a social child she will enjoy it. If it can help show her a book about the first day at school or take her to tour the school where she is going so she will be familiar with her new environment. Vero

i will give you the same advice i gave lata I have been through it twice and let me tell you it wasnt easy for me I was nervous for no reason and I was alone in that department my children (both times) were fine and dint even cry but I think I did. but just in case, what you can do is take her once in awhile to the school she is going and let hier wonder a little bit but ask if it's o.k to do so first. let her see the class and let her know that she will be going there soon, has she met his teacher? if no, try and get her to meet him/she if she/him is available so she/he wont look like a stranger and will she be taking the bus to school? if so everytime you see one tell her she will be riding in one of those soon but this change will still be hard for you and it might be for her after all your her mommy, unless she's been to daycare. hope this helps. good luck to you both the special day if not riding the bus or if you are taking her for awhile. let her walk by herself and let her help you with the doors and tell her to say hi to people around, she will feel like a big girl dont say a long good-bye actually dont say good-bye or she will scream just leave her no kisses or she will get attached to you and will not let you go, do this for about the first week it will be hard but not as hard as to get here to stop crying and screaming her little lungs out, let her carry her own backpack and good luck.
