Kate started second grade last week.
Her crew sending her off.
They really don't know what to do with themselves when she isn't around.
Post-First Day of School Thoughts: I don't know if you know this about us, but we move around a lot. It never is our plan to be so mobile, it just always ends up that way as we try to figure out the best way to live our life for our family.
When I dropped her off she was very excited and then got really quiet. I went and gave her one last hug and she had a little tear rolling down her cheek. I felt like I was going to break down and cry with her. I then pointed out to the teacher that we were new and that Kate was a little nervous and the teacher was very cool about cheering Kate up.
I left kicking myself and feeling really guilty about making Kate have to do this so many times. But I also thought about how grateful I am to have Kate, that she is so resilient and that she is the type of kid that can handle this kind of stuff. Needless to say, when I picked her up I was expecting the worse, but she was totally happy and had a great day. It made me more fond of her that day and more appreciative of her in our family.
