This morning after a quick breakfast and the ceremonial “finding of the shoes,” we set off to drop Miss Tabby off for her first day of kindergarten. It was a nice feeling with lots of folks walking along the same sidewalks and paths towards our neighborhood elementary school and when we saw the pileup of cars, we were extra grateful to be within walking distance.
Tabby went right into her classroom and hung up her backpack and before any time at all she was happily ensconced in a coloring project. She waved us off without a glance back. The day must have gone well from there on because she greeted us with smiles and tales of her day. Best of all, she can’t wait to go back tomorrow.
The evening was a little dicey. She was clearly exhausted from her long day but not very inclined to rest. I think we will insist on the rest tomorrow.
