School Eve

I can't quite put into words how I feel.

I know I don't deserve any sympathy, because sending your child off to school for the first time is obviously not the end of the world. I know that. I am queen at trying to keep everything in perspective, and I know that this is at the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to "worst things that could happen in life." And yet, I still feel the raw emotion of starting a new chapter in our beloved Crannie's life.

Dan is admittedly nervous too. He came up a little bit ago and reported that her lunch is successfully packed for tomorrow. He even took her string cheese out of its wrapper and put it into a plastic bag for her since he knew she would be better at opening the plastic bag rather than the string cheese wrapper.

We will see how tomorrow goes.
