I used to love going back to school after the summer…
A blank slate
A new beginning
The smell of paper
The smell of new text books
The smell of wax crayons
And Mr. Sketch markers
Intoxicating to a child starting a new year at school
New school bag filled with
Fun new pens and pencils
A new lunch bag with lots of snacks
Made by mom with love
A new outfit and shoes
Freshly-washed hair with barrettes
Pinning it back to show a fresh, smiling face
Eyes looking up at the school
Nose sniffing the fresh air
Mouth turned up at the sides
Heart beating with anticipation
For the first day back to school
Lovely…I can totally relate this to the enthusiasm & slight anticipation my little one feels
Awww it’s so excited (and sometimes scary) for them. My little one is only a year so it’ll be a while before I get to enjoy this. Good luck to your little one!!
