This morning was an important one. We got up early. Took the last count down gummy bear from the jar. Packed your lunchbox. Put on your new shoes, clothes and backpack.
And I've never seen you so ready for anything.
One of your new teachers was welcoming you all to the school, and he said "nobody lives here in this building. We all get the opportunity to come here together, every day, to celebrate this great thing called life!" I hope we can all keep that perspective as you move through your school years.
I'm pretty sure everyone's first day of school should involve their teachers playing live jazz music.
And in you went. I didn't even cry! Until we started walking away after dropping you off. Then I wept.
I hope you have such a grand adventure!
Love,
Mom
