She is super excited and I am apprehensive and a little scared. Scared that she won't succeed, that she will talk back to her teacher, that she won't love or even like school like I did, and that her shy self will take over and make it hard for her to make friends. Man, she is a lot like me. Why, oh why, does my child have to be shy? I pray that she grows out of her shyness and that school is a great experience and that my apprehension doesn't affect her.
So for our last week, I am trying to pack it in - 1) because school starts next week and 2) because Alan is traveling all week in Colorado. So, we are going to the pool (went today and probably tomorrow since it is quite hot here), going to the park, having friends over, and taking a trip to the Discovery Museum in Sausalito with friends. Also on Friday, we finally get Kate's class assignment with a ice cream social to follow at her school and then probably the park by her school to follow.

I find that I push my kids to be braver in certain areas where I was too shy myself. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It will all work out and she will love school! Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes!
Give Kate and Matt both a hug from me! Love ya!
It will be ok if you cry after dropping her off to school for her 1st big day - all moms do, just at varying levels. Just no open sobbing :o) becuase we will always see them as the little itty babies that fit inside both our hands, no matter how much they grow up now how big they ever get. Good luck!! XOXO
