Wow, how quickly it seems that we send them off. Today was India's first day of First Grade. I got to watch her waiting in line patiently until it was her turn to greet her new teacher and then enter her class. I saw her nervousness and how she handled it. Somehow today was different than when she started Kindergarten. In Kindergarten the children are expected to be just that, kinder kids. In first grade there are more rules and more things that they will be learning. By the end of the year she will be reading ( I expect pretty well) She will be in a new phase of her life.
Oh how wonderful, compelling, stressfull, and somewhat mournful all of that is.
