The first day of school had a jittery start to it. Nobody got much sleep, despite the early bedtimes. I think maybe the hardest part for Pearl and Carrie is that they are no longer in the same class or school. But the day has begun. This afternoon we'll find out more. Or not. Neither of them tends to report reality with much detail.
I always (still) dread that first day -- will the lunches we packed be big enough? Will the teachers like them? Will they get along with the other kids in their classes?
Those big "firsts" are so momentous. In two weeks, school begins for our two adolescents. One the "top dog" at his school, the other starting college while still in high school. Many new experiences expected this year.
Looking forward to hearing how your two weathered this day!
