School has started

It is Day 3 since school started for M. She was really excited on the first day as she went about hugging and exploring. I could see she realized that this was meant to be yesterday, from her resigned look as new kids in her class were wailing about. She was enlisted as the 'older' helper to calm them down and she did quite well, I noticed. Today, I pull into the parking lot and as I open the van door to get her out, I see her wiping her eyes. I ask her if all is well and she replies 'Its ok Amma, these are happy tears!' My baby is growing up for sure :(
