Tomorrow Ava starts the first grade. Today, among a last day's worth of playing with neighbors and going to the pool, there was lots of little things done to prepare for the first day. Ben took Ava to get a new outfit for her first day. (I was a little nervous of what they might come home with, but we managed to come up with a decent outfit.) At dinner Ava read a paper inside a bag she received at open house the other day. The bag had contained a pencil, eraser, and fuzzy pom pom; the paper explained that the pencil was for writing many great stories, the eraser is because it's okay to make mistakes, and the fuzzy is to remember that all classmates should feel welcome and happy.
Tonight after Ava had gone to bed I found a paper that I was supposed to read to her before she went to bed. Of course I forgot amid the hullabaloo. I read it, and it talks all about the excitement and apprehension of starting a new school year. It was so cute and thoughtful. I feel so blessed that Ava goes to such an incredible school and already feel like this teacher is another exceptional one. I cannot wait to see what this year has in store for Ava. I think she will grow leaps and bounds, and it will be so much fun watching her continue to mature into the phenomenal human being I know she will be.
