Today my first-born began her school career. Susanna went to Kindergarten.
It was a wonderful day. Chris and I walked her to her class, and she was so eager to begin her day. She was reluctant to even stop at the front door for pictures. “Come on! Let’s go, let’s go!” she said.
She looked adorable in her standard school attire (they don’t call it a “uniform,” per se).
Chris and I stayed for the “Boo Hoo” breakfast, designed to help parents make a clean break from their children.
But I’m not really sad. I’m excited. I have always loved school. It’s crazy, but it’s as if I get to live vicariously through my kids’ school experiences. I love learning new things, having new experiences, and meeting new people. Susanna gets to do all of that now! She has a lifetime ahead of learning and that’s exhilarating to me.
Chris described it well. It’s a feeling of “no turning back.” We’ve hit yet another milestone of parenting. The preschool years have passed.
The absolute highlight of the day: Susanna has her very own lockerwith her name posted on the outside.
Susanna and her teacher, Ms. Sullivan. It’s going to be a great year!
