She has been anxiously awaiting her turn to get to go to school for months and months… and today was the day!

Chloe & I walked her into her classroom and helped her hang up her backpack and find her name, and then I whispered, “Ok, Maddie, I’m going to go now.  Ok?”  And without even looking up or any hesitation, she said, “Ok, Mom!  Bye!”

As I was walking back to the car with Chloe–noticing that no other parents were even remotely close to leaving their child, I expressed my concern that maybe we should have stayed longer.  She simply said, “No Mom.  She was SO ready.  She won’t even notice you’re gone.”

Truth.
