Sweet Pea, all dressed in her navy blue pants and white
collared polo is over shadowed by her enormous new pink and orange polka dotted
backpack with matching lunch bag. The lunch bag contained a thermos filled with
Indian chana masala and rice, champagne grapes, pretzles/banana/chocolate chip
trail mix, and water. Before leaving the house I quickly grabbed some glitter
decorated orange colored construction paper from our craft box and scribbled
“We love you so much! Mama, Daddy and Cordie” and stuffed it in her lunchbox. I
hoped some kind adult or older kid would read her the note during lunch.
We arrived early to find parking in the little residential
neighborhood filled with cute homes and cottage gardens. Sweet Pea isn’t
nervous at all and surprisingly I’m not either as we (me, daddy, baby sister,
nana, and sweet pea) approach the entry way of her new school. Excited yes,
nervous no.
