I didn’t cry!  She was so excited and beaming that I had too big a smile myself to cry.

She was ready, her big bro was full of brotherly advise. “If someone hurts you, tell the teacher. Don’t hit back or you will get in trouble”, “Raise your hand if you have a question”, and “Don’t talk while the teacher is talking,”—hummmm pretty sure he has learned all of those the hard way!

Her backpack was as big as she is.  Her confidence was high.  She bounded on to that bus and waved from the window seat next to her brother with the biggest grin ever.

I can’t wait to pick her up and hear all about it.
