First day

We did it. Not a tear shed between any of us.

Susie took Shep and Ellery in the morning so Tom and I could take Neko to a first-day-of-school breakfast. Then off to school. She was a little nervous and didn’t want us to leave. But then she saw her friend Gregory getting nervous, and according to Akiko, went up to him and said, “Don’t worry Gregory. Your mom is going to be fine.”

So off we went. And by the time we picked her up, she was beaming.

“Did you have a good day?”

“I had a great day!”
