Yesterday was The Princess' first day of school.
She didn't go.
Poor thing was wiped out with a high temperature that left her so weak she spent most of the day not chatting.
Yes, you are right, she was very sick.
It was sad. The first day of school was spend in bed.
But the evening of the first day of school we carefully laid out the close we'd laid out the night before.
We checked the backpack that had been checked the night before.
We read our scriptures, kissed good-night and she crept back into bed.
On the SECOND day of school we woke up to have the FIRST day of school.
On the SECOND FIRST day of school we walked to the bus stop and met our friends.
On the SECOND FIRST day of school we put The Princess on the bus for the first time and waved good-bye.
On my first borns SECOND FIRST day of school I did not cry because our friends were standing right there.
That sting in my eyes and lump in my throat? I'm positive it's because I now have a slight temperature.
