DD#1 's first day of school didn't go as smoothly as I thought. She told me yesterday that when she got off the bus at school, no one knew who she was, what class she belonged in, or where she was supposed to go. Her name didn't appear on any of the class lists.
I had to swallow hard not to cry when she told me that. Bad enough she's going to a new school, when she gets there, she feels like she doesn't belong. How scary is THAT for a six year old little girl, having to fend for herself, in a completely new environment, and having to deal with irresponsible adults.
But I'm so proud of her. She took matters into her own hands, and got things done! Figured out where she had to go, found her class, and said "hello, i'm here!" She said she wasn't even afraid, she knew she would figure it out somehow. That's mommy's little girl!
