Maia’s take on the first day

valerie -- August 16th, 2011

Picked Maia up from school–after a little procedure (you need to let Mrs. Robinson know your mom is there from the benches outside the room) the first thing Maia said was: “Mom, I didn’t get to eat my lunch because I couldn’t open it.”

And the second thing was a stream of how much fun she had: “I played with kids on the playground, my teacher read stories and we read the stories back to her, we drew pictures and I have a picture for you in my backpack but you can’t see it yet because it’s a SURPRISE and I know you like surprises and can I eat my lunch when we get home…” in the rapid fire way only a very verbal 5-year-old-girl can manage.

I think we’re going to be OK.

And the lunch thing will be resolved. I do admit, her box is super cute, but a bit tricky to pop open. And lunch was unusually rushed at school today as well.
