September 6, 2017: It was a pretty big day at our house today. I went to school all by myself! (Not like real preschool or kindergarden but it was close enough.) I was excited but a little nervous and sad at the same time. I think mommy was a little sad too. She tried to hide it, but I could see her crying a little under her sunglasses and there weren’t any onions in the van. I didn’t want her to feel bad so I was brave and walked right into class without making a big deal about it. I thought I was going to cry too but I held it together…plus, there are some fun toys in my classroom. Daddy seemed ok, but I still told Finley to take care of mommy and daddy while I was gone. When mommy and daddy picked me up, I cried to show them I was so happy to see them. I think that made them feel better. Maybe tomorrow they’ll be able to keep it together.
