School

This was Clarissa's first week of school. She used to go to a school in Tempe. We have lived in Queen Creek for almost 5 years, and she has yet to go to the school 3 houses away from us. So, Adam and I finally took the plunge and sent her to the school 3 houses away. Her first day, I was sad! I took the day off of work, just like I always do. I walk her to school and pick her up on the first day. I will continue to do that, until she makes me stop. I watched her walk to her class; I had a tear start to trickle down, but stopped. I realized that she is getting to be a big girl. I spent the day with Adam, we worked out, got the car washed and did a few errands. After I got home, I went to pick up Clarissa and she ran, full speed at me and was smiling! She hugged me so tight and said that she had so much fun! I am glad that we changed schools. That night we sat together and talked about her day and made sure that she was ready for the next day. It seemed like yesterday, she was just born. So small and fragile...now she is independent, confident and strong.
