Before Grace started school this fall we read the book, "The Kissing Hand." The child in the story is scared to go to school, so the mother fills their hand with kisses for them to use throughout the day when they miss her. So, everyday, I fill Grace's palm with kisses before she goes into school. We were dropping her off this morning and I said, "ok, let me see your hand," and she said, "I don't need kisses anymore." It made me happy and sad at the same time; happy that she is happy at school, but sad she doesn't need her mama's kisses to get her through the day anymore:(
So, today I am thankful for well adjusted kids who like school and are happy to be there learning and playing.
