Red-Light;
Green-Light: My Daughter’s First Day of School
Where have the
last four years gone?
I cannot sleep.
Today is A’s first day of formal
education. In the next hours she will wake up an enthusiastic 4 year-old, clueless
as to how different her life will be going forward. Together we will go about getting
her fed, uniform sorted, hair brushed and making sure she is ready for the day
ahead.
I am incredibly
thrilled for her. She will learn to read, write, explore her interests in
after-school clubs, make new friends, figure out where her interests lie and
learn how to tie her own school tie. What
character will she choose for World Book Day? I can’t wait for all of that.
