Angel has reached a huge milestone this week. She started Grade
1 on Tuesday. It was almost a surreal feeling for me when the bell rang and she
went into her new classroom with her new teacher and new friends without a
backward glance. When did my baby grow up so much?!
On one hand I am extremely happy that my girl is so confident,
making friends comes so easily to her, on the other hand a tiny part my heart
also ached a little. To say that I am feeling emotional about this new chapter
in her life would be an understatement. I am flowing in the river of emotions.
Today is her 3rd day at grade 1 and she has had great
first 2 days. She really likes her new teacher who seemed very pleasant when I
met him in the mornings during drop offs. She is also excited about making new friends.
She loves that she has her own desk now and she get the recess J
I am excited about all the amazing opportunities that are ahead
and proud of the wonderful person that Angel is becoming. I cannot wait to
watch her learn and grow as she starts to spread her independent little wings.
But I am sad too, and in a sense grieving the end of her early childhood.
It seems the best I can do as a parent is embrace the school
adventure, watch my child fly, and hang on for the ride.
