A Letter to My Daughter on Her First Day of School
Dear daughter, Today is the day you have been waiting for! You get to go to school! You’ll get to play with a bunch of other kids and a bunch of new toys. You’ll finally get to play on the playground you’ve been eyeing every time we walk past it at church. You’ll get to put on your fancy new backpack and carry your cool new lunchbox, wearing your fun new tennis shoes. You’ll get to listen to stories and learn things like Bible verses and how to write your name. Boy, would I love to be a fly on the wall in that room. I would get to see you sitting on the carpet as your teacher reads to you and your classmates. I would get to see you loving your art projects. I would get to watch you holding your pencil or crayon as you write and draw. I would get to see you infectiously laughing with your friends as you play in the pretend play center. I know I would also see you learning to work...
