Anna has been skipping, smiling, and running to her classrooms in the morning. It's the sweetest feeling to watch her haul it down the hallway, holding my hand, and smiling up at me occasionally like, "are you as excited as I am?"
This morning when we entered (she likes to knock first), I heard, "Anna!" And it wasn't from her teachers, but from a little buddy Walty. How wonderful! We applauded Walty and he got all shy and silly. These guys are growing up!
Speaking of growing up, she just flat out walked away from me today, and straight over to Miss P. This is the second day in a row for that! She gives Miss P a fist bump, me a snotty kiss, and bye-bye! This morning when she fist bumped Miss P, Rocky came over and fist bumped Miss P. Then one by one they all came over for fist bumps. Hardy-har-har. I left her with a smile and not a care in the world.
I am so happy the crying at drop-off is behind us. It's a very liberating feeling to go to work confidently knowing your baby is happy to start her day. YAY!

yeah, you'd think that with teachers in space there would be SOMEONE who could make every NASA event developmentally appropriate for all ages. How disappointing. Sounds like the PR office needs to hire educators along with their PR people. Maybe that should be a shared responsibility for the educator-astronauts? How to get the word out to the kids in a fun way because you know they will be tax payers someday. They need a good memory to file away when the NASA budget comes up for a vote!
