1st Grader.

Avery was nervous this morning.

Her excitement over the past couple days gave way to nerves this morning.

I was expecting this from her.

As Trina would say, 'She's got the worry-gene'.

But man, alive she looked adorable!

She was nervous about her new teacher.

She was nervous about kids she might not know.

She clung to my neck and whispered, 'Mommy, I see so many kids I dont know.'

She sounded scared.

And so I was crying.

But I turned and pointed out all the kids I knew by name and she spotted Brooklyn and we were good to go. But she turned and hugged me one more time and quietly whispered, 'Thank you mommy, I love you.'

Ugh.

Brooklyn & Avery

Stop it girls...just stop!
