her first day of grade 2

Anna. She grew up so much this summer. She's so calm. Always level- headed. Not moody. Doesn't complain. Does what's asked of her. Takes care of her sisters because she wants to. Never leaves anyone out. And ALWAYS wants to help. This September, she had to start a new school, in a new town, living in a new house. She cried into my shirt for 20 minutes standing in the schoolyard waiting for the bell to ring. So worried that no one would like her. So worried that I wouldn't pick her up on time. I just rubbed her back and told her it would be ok and that everyone would love her and she'll soon be leading the schoolyard games at lunch time... and since that first day- Every day has been the "best day ever, like Christmas."
