We Did It

Mrs. G., one of The Princess's teachers, called me after she had been at school for about forty-five minutes on her very first day ever.  She wanted to let me know that The Princess came in singing, and was adapting very well to her new environment.  She had some Cheez-its, Cheerios and apple juice at snack time, and seemed like she was happy.

I could kiss Mrs. G.

As soon as I got off the phone with her, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.  For the next couple of hours, I milled around the house, dragging Dirt Pink with me everywhere I went, waiting for her to get home.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity...

There she was.

She gave me the sweetest smile when I got on the bus to help her off.

This walk to and from the bus was way easier for me than the first one this morning.

Sookie was so excited to greet the princess when she returned home.

I gave her a daffodil from the yard and she gripped it so tight, I think she broke its poor neck.  But, boy oh boy, did I get the hug of a lifetime.

Here's her report from school today.  It tells me that she arrived happy and ate most of her snack.  She had ST and OT.

My baby's home.  We did it.  We made it through the first day.
