Yesterday was Fiona's first day at school. Well, technically, it was an orientation day! Friday is the first full (or half) day without parents present. Fiona loved it. She had loads of fun and is excited to go back on Friday. I never had any worries about how she would do on her first day. Maybe, that's why I wasn't that emotional about it. I knew, and know that she is ready for this step. She's always been a very social girl, who loves to meet new friends and try new things. I hope she hangs on to this forever, and stands her ground as a strong female. My brain is already rushing ahead to high school, and praying that she marches to her own beat and doesn't get sucked into all the negative behaviours of peers around her. Perhaps, this fear is a result of working in group homes for several years. I have to remember: Not ALL teenagers are up to something mischievous! :)
