Heidi’s school recommends you use the carpool drop off lane for the first week to ease the transition of being left at school. I took their recommendation; after all, this is their job so they ought to know what they are talking about. We talked about going to school while on the way there and about her teacher and what she would do at school (play). We arrived at school and one of the teachers came to the car. As Miss Susan unbuckled her they talked about playing and having fun. Heidi looked at me as Miss Susan took her from the car and said, “Bye, Mommy.” She did not look back. My brave girl was off! This is how she approaches most everything. It is a blessing and a curse that she is so fearless but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I much prefer having to be on high alert since she is not. I want her to one day be the kind of woman who is not afraid to throw caution to the wind.
