Libby started first grade this week. I have been a bit worried about how things would go--the whole eating lunch at school thing. It got even worse when I found out that she has kids in her class with severe peanut allergies so she can't bring pbnj sandwiches--her lunch staple. This week I sent a kidz Clif bar (she loves the iced oatmeal cookie variety), but now I discovered that they may have "trace peanut elements." Not sure what I will send this week. But as long as I had a snack for her when I picked her up, (which she devoured) things went pretty well. All 3 days she was in school I would start to get all nervous and worked up around 11:30 like I would need to be there to get her off the bus. Then I would realize I still had HOURS until her 3:30 pick up. Awesome. I would relax and get a lot more done. Her teacher is awesome. So far in 3 days I have had more communication than I had in all of last year. It is going to be sad to leave. I think this teacher is in part why we haven't secured a new home yet. I think she is going to help me figure out how to help Libby feel successful with school.
