Today is Beebo’s first day of daycare, or “school” as we prefer to say. She’s there and I’m at home, what a strange feeling after spending her first year together.
I loved and feared the first day of school, both as a student and a teaching assistant. I loved new school supplies and new (or gently used) books. I feared failure and disappointing the grown-ups, although that rarely materialized. I hope Beebo feels loved and guided and free to explore, and I can’t wait to reunite everyday.
