Sera's first day at school

I'm at home now, it's 8.35am, and I'm alone. Sera's at school. Yes, the day has finally arrived ... Sera's first day at school. I miss her already. I am suddenly free, well for a few hours at least. Hmm, I think I'll pick her up early today, just for today ... maybe for this week?

Johan and I dropped her off at her school at 7.30am. Yes, even Johan wanted to be part of this momentuous day. Sera was very surprised to see Johan this morning ... "What, is it the weekend already?" Cool! She reached out for him, gave him a kiss and stayed in his arms, not wanting to let him go. A quick breakfast together, a dip in the bath tub, slipped into her clothes and off we went. Needless to say, the school was a little chaotic, it being the first day for the other kids plus their more excited parents. Hmm, I noticed many fathers were there too. Oh, how sweet.

Enter Sera's classroom. Crying children. Awww ... separation anxiety for a few kids. Sera steps in, completely forgets her parents, gives the crying kids a few seconds of her time and proceeds to explore her new surroundings. She'll be fine, I think. After handing over her tiny school bag and another big bag of the essential stuff to the teacher assistant, we kissed Sera and headed off. I forget to tell Johan not to say 'Goodbye' to her ... too late! We hear her crying and banging at the door. I hear Miss Caitlin (her teacher) talking and pulling her away from the door. She complains a little bit more and then silence. She'll be fine ... no panic.

What, it's only 8.50? This is crazy, I think I am the one suffering from separation anxiety!
