We've been looking forward to this day for a long time. And it was a wonderful day!
Zoe was so excited, so happy. She was a real trooper. Some kids cried, but not Zoe. She was right where she was supposed to be. It was a little hectic, after our lazy summer of sleeping in and wandering around the entire west coast. But she was great, it was a beautiful, warm, sunny day and her school is a warm, happy place.
She went skipping off to her new class, blowing me kisses as she turned to walk away.
Oh yeah. Mommy teared up. Then Jujie and I went to Cafe Trieste to have some breakfast. It was a very calm morning, just Jujie and I. We went to story hour at the library, we did some shopping. We chatted. It was all very mellow and... nice.
Juju and I will have some really nice time together this year his days off from school. In the meantime, Zoe was adapting well to her new environment. And she didn't forget about her brother. When we picked her up from school, she came bounding down the steps, and showed us the crown that she made for her brother. It was covered in hearts, "for love" and drawn in his favorite color, red. She put it on his head, and he beamed with pride. He wore it the entire rest of the day. Everyone beamed with pride.
