Moving to a new home was an exciting experience for our Son and his family. While they only moved across the street basically, the children were still assigned to a different school. Last Thursday was Sunshine and Dreamer's first day in their new school. They were excited and nervous all in one. Sunshine is in the fifth grade and Dreamer the third.
JD left them a note on his way to the fire station that morning. I couldn't resist clicking off a quick photo when I was at their home keeping an eye on the little ones while my daughter-in-law, Pleasure, went with Sunshine and Dreamer on opening day. I love how their parents made it a day of excitement and celebration.
Sunshine was up early choosing just the right outfit for her first day. Dreamer just wanted breakfast.
I persuaded them to stand by each other for a picture...
but it was clear that Dreamer's thoughts were on what the lunch menu might be and Sunshine was still deciding if she had clipped her hair flower in the most fashionably correct place.
Tornado heard the action and came bursting out the front door to see what he might be missing.
Any time the door is left unlocked he uses it to his advantage. He LOVES being out-of-doors but does not quite understand that the street is off limits yet. He strolls freely about the neighbor's yard and anywhere that grass cushions his quick-tip-toed step.
Poor Copper, however, was delegated to the gated area inside. He is very well behaved, but dislikes it when the older children leave him. Sunshine and Copper have a kindred relationship. He mourns her absence like a misty-eyed maiden sending her sailor to sea.
But school demanded her farewell and with full back packs and re-tied tennies, Sunshine and Dreamer headed for the van,
leaving Copper, Tornado, and Yaya wondering about their first day.
I hope your day is more exciting than nerve-wracking. I hope you had a good breakfast and an even better lunch. I hope your fashion statement is comfortable and confident. I hope you have someone to encourage celebration for all things new and support you as walk into your day.
