First Day (Again)


Janelle, First Grader

Height: 46"

Favorite color: pink

Favorite food: still pizza

Favorite thing to do: playdates with friends

Favorite thing to watch: documentaries on whales & sharks like this one

Best friends: Lilly and Eli

Favorite summer memory: going to the zoo and seeing the sharks up close

What I want to be when I grow up: a teacher

Last year her lip quivered, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she clung desperately to my hand. This year, although she claimed to have the jitters, she was chatty and eager. She kissed my lips and was off without a backward glance.

What a difference a year makes.
