I can't believe I have a fourth grader.
I remember fourth grade being the first year girls were interested in boys (yikes!) and the year things started changing, socially, for me, as some girls matured and others (me included) didn't. I'm scared for my sweet, innocent, immature girl who has absolutely no interest in boys, still likes princesses, and adores playing dress up. She's unique and an absolute treasure....but not everyone looks past the exterior to see that gem inside that I see. She's timid and quiet at school. Too much like her mother, this dear girl.
Her best friend, Taylor just coined the phrase, "nervou-cited" and that's what Rachel told me she was feeling last night. Today she was all excitement. The bus was thirty minutes late, though, on the first day, which knocked some wind out of both of us.....but I know she'll have a great day.
Love this girl!!!
Oh my! How grown up! I know...fourth grade is a bit daunting! HOpe her day was great. Can't wait to hear what Rebecca says tomorrow!!!! hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love her so much too!! You're right...she is an absolute treasure and a gem to those of us who love her. Stay sweet, dear Rachel.
