1 Mother 2 Another

Yes, today is the last day of school, and
everyone in the world is rejoicing.


Except Cora.


Every time we talk about the “summer” or the last day
of school, she growls at us. Sometimes she cries. She can’t
believe her teacher won’t be her teacher any more, and
there’s no WAY she can imagine first grade will be anywhere
near as good as kindergarten.


My poor kiddo.


Yesterday all her workbooks were sent home from school, and at
bedtime she gleefully got out her mathbook and did math problems
before lights out.


Yeah, there’s no hope for her.
