E started school a few weeks ago and loved it the first three days. The fourth day her daddy forgot to give her a kiss goodbye when he dropped her off and she was a bit sad. So, she and a teacher wrote a note to daddy so that he would always remember to give her a big hug and kiss before he goes. (She always requests about 10 hugs and kisses from him before he leaves for 'work'). Then the following Monday E didn't want to go to school at all. "I'm not going to school today", she would tell me that morning. She took a long nap that afternoon instead. The next day was the same in the morning, but we went to school anyway and she was only a bit sad. The next day there was a storm of tears at the parting and the teacher almost had to pry her off me, but she willing went in the end with big tears and waves. This week has been much better as she celebrated her nameday and took some treats to share with her class and a note on how her parents named her and what saint she was named for. Today was an easy day dropping her off. She still says she doesn't really want to go somedays, but she likes it and she has some new friends that she always plays with. School days are here.
