I have to say, the weather couldn't have been better for my daughter's first day at Louise's Farm School!
This morning she said her tummy was hurting .. nerves.
She was scared, and contained her excitement very well.
I knew she was nervous.
And bounding all that up would make anyone's tummy hurt.
Her biggest concern was making friends.
One of the issues we had at her last school was how she always felt left out.
Today, when I dropped her off (about 10 minutes earlier than the rest of the kids), the teachers greeted her.
Ms. Megan came right over and asked Kara to help her with something.
Kara got to walk the farm dogs home.
But I didn't want to mess up this already fine transition into a new environment.
All morning I thought about her at school....
Wondering if she was being shy or friendly...
Was she making friends or feeling left out ...
Was she enjoying herself..
Would she eat the snack that is prepared at the farm for the kids...
Finally, it was time to pick her up from school
And she was happy!
A smile filled her face!
She LOVED Farm School!
As Aaron and I knew she would!
And she can't wait to go back Monday.
This? Is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteMom's do know what's right, even if they struggle with being sure.
You are doing something that will affect Kara the rest of her life in a very good way.
Thank you for listening to her and to yourself and going against "the norm".
