Hard Day

Yesterday was a pretty hard day for me. Madilyn is REFUSING to go to school...she is fine getting up and getting dressed, even getting out the door and into the car, even walking into the school
but...
when we get to her classroom door she just won't go in. She started not wanting to be left there the 1st week in November and it has progressively gotten worse. The last few times I could get her in the room and then I could go. She would cry for 3o seconds to a minute (her teacher reported) but then would be fine. She has a few moments where she will get worried and want Paul and I, but they are fleeting moments.
Yesterday she wouldn't even go into the room. I ended up just taking her home after 20 minutes of trying to get her to stay.
I am so scared for tomorrow when it is time to go back.
She loved school. What went wrong?
We keep asking her why she doesn't want to go and she says that there are "too many kids" and that she doesn't like it anymore.
Her teacher suggested that we come earlier and get her into class first before the other kids get there and see how that goes. So we will try that. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that we can figure this out. I don't want her to be scared of school and have it affect her whole school career. We just don't want her to be scarred for life and aren't sure the best way to handle it.

On a brighter note (and a super exciting note)....my little sister Jessica got engaged yesterday!!!!
I am so happy for her and so excited to help her plan her big day!
(We have been waiting for this day for a L O N G time)
We can't wait to add Alex to our family! (and hopefully cousins for our babies, but I won't be pushing for that one just yet :) haha
