New School

Today Carmen started a new school. She was excited and we talked about how the day would unfold.  With Carmen, you never quite know how it's going to go.  You just hold your breath and hope for the best and most of the time she ends up surprising you.  Today was one of those days. 

I was nervous, she was not.  We arrived at school, she clung to my leg for a brief moment, she met her 'Hug Bug' teacher, checked out her new cubby, went to the playground, was greeted and welcomed with open arms by the kids.  She played, I kissed her goodbye, she didn't even know I was gone.  I was a little apprehensive all day, checking my phone for a text or a call that things may not be going well.  I worried for nothing.  Carmen was a trooper--no fussing, no crying, a good eater, a good napper and on and on.  Not one hiccup today. I know tomorrow is another day, but today was smooth sailing.  We are proud of our little girl.
