She Never Looked Back
Today was Esther’s first day of kindergarten. Her feelings: excited! She made her own lunch last night and packed it in her lunchbox. She picked out her outfit for today and laid it out. This morning she was up at 6:05 am because she didn’t want to be late for school.
Her sisters’ feelings: quite content. They now can play without having someone direct what they do. We’ll see how long it takes Katherine to start taking on the “oldest sister” role.
My feelings: glad and sad. I’m glad I have only 2 at home to manage now, but know that I will miss Esther sometimes. She is growing up to be helpful and sweet. I also want her to be prepared for whatever she faces when she is not with me and hope that I gave her a good enough foundation.
I dropped her off at her classroom, and she never looked back. I’m looking forward to the next phase of our lives together.
