Summer ended. Just like that.
Labor Day used to mark that event in years past, but not any more. All of a sudden this happened and these little ones who were just playing Marco Polo at the Y are now full-time students again. And, two of them are just about as tall as me now, mind you.
Those two do not include this little pip squeak who seemed quite happy for her 1st day of 1st grade. Now, she did pray last night that she wouldn’t have any “bad feelings or be sad or get lost,” and she did grab her Mommy’s and Daddy’s hands as we walked that last block to the school yard. But, she stood up straight in her line and waved goodbye to us without looking back.
{sigh}
One of the first things she did when she came home is pack her own lunch for tomorrow. I guess she had a pretty good day.
