Someone came home with almost a full lunch left. It was her first day of preschool without her best friend, who attends only Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays. I am hoping that was the reason she didn't eat most of her food and that she will make new friends soon. When I picked Leah up today she didn't want to leave. She was still excited about school but was a little sad that she didn't know how to make friends. I watched her struggling to be included in a small group playing on the equipment. My heart broke a little but I know kids are so resilient. Undeterred, she is looking forward to another day tomorrow. And me, I am keeping my fingers crossed for naps, good eating, and now, kind friends.
What was packed.
What was left.
Tomorrow's lunch. (That's a chicken meatball.)
By the way, kids are mean.
Imagine all the post-it notes I could write and leave on people's desks every time they didn't let me do something I wanted.
