My daughter is back at school. Give thanks. Send up prayers.
We were away for the four days leading up to the semester, which meant no parent/teacher conferences. All that we knew was that my daughter’s best friend from kindergarten would not be in her class. I feared the early morning battles, the struggle to get her in the car each day, one spent without the company of her best friend.
I do not know my daughter very well.
She bounded out to the car and announced as she opened the door, “Best. First. Day. Ever!”
Why? Props to carpooling with her older cousin, who she adores. Props to a great teacher. Props to a boy she likes chasing around at recess (but she doesn’t like him, folks. C’mon now!). Props to her loving learning and showing what she’s learned.
Tuesday morning, she was raring to go. Now, if we can just cast the unclean spirit out of her bed hair, we’ll be making progress.
