Isabella has had a great year. In fact, a few days ago, she asked, "Can I do kindergarten twice?" I'm really happy she's enjoyed herself, and started her school career with such a good experience.
Today we said our thank yous and goodbyes to her teachers, and then, as we have on every other mild day, settled down for an hour on the playground. "Well," I said, "You're done with kindergarten. Is that exciting?"
"I'm happy to be done with school," she said, then paused. "But it's hard to let go off your teachers."
The girls played for awhile, then I watched as Ella trotted to the school entrance and disappeared inside. I waited for her to emerge from her unannounced drink or restroom visit, then asked her where she'd been.
"Ms. Carter's classroom," she said. "I just needed one more hug."
