The First Day of School
September 03, 2009
My very first preschooler is no longer a preschooler. She experienced her first day of school with amazing grace. Me? Not so much. I left the school in tears, hoping that the five years we spent together were enough to prepare her for her first day of school.

Back in September I started a list of 99 things I want to experience with the children in Halifax . So far we have done some of the things listed. We attempted to go whale watching twice last summer.
