Day 123 – First meeting.

Last week Jaia met her teacher and saw her classroom for the first time.  I fully expected resistance.  I fully expected her to start whining as we dressed for the meeting or as we got in the car to go there.  I fully expected her to be fearful of this new experience that will effectively change all of our lives.

What I didn’t expect was sheer glee.  Or excitement.  Or confidence and bravery.  BUt my little gal likes to keep me on my toes. She literally burst out of the car and ran to the front doors.  She walked right up to the teacher and introduced herself.  She asked some questions and then went off to play with the toys.

It was like she was a mini grown up.  And as I sat there, my adult sized tush on one of those tiny chairs talking about story time and gym class with her new teacher, watching her show independence that I have never seen before, I felt overwhelmed, unprepared and a wee bit sad.  She is growing up.  And she seemed so happy about it.  And seeing her happy makes me happy.  And with that realization, any trace of anything else I was feeling just simply vanished.
