Becca's daily name sheet question today was, "How do you feel today and why?"
And she wrote, "I feel worried because I miss my mommy." :(
Awwww. I was so sad when I read that. We talked about it and she said it's because at the bus stop we've been going to (that is safer because the other one had too little of a space to stand, near a main street, when there was so much snow) she is on the other side of the bus than me when it drives away, and she can't see me wave, even though I *always* stay until the bus turns. The snow is all gone, though, and we've been talking about going back to our old bus stop, anyway, so I think we'll do that this week - as she said this morning, her friend who is coming over on Friday after school will come on the bus and is used to the old bus stop anyway (she hasn't been over in a while).
The poor kid! It also reminded me that she does have anxieties and worries and she works SOOO hard at school to keep those under control, and so she needs a bit of slack at home (not too much, though, as the "Respect Rules" program is still going strong - and splendidly).
I started a countdown at work - Friday is April 1, and today I counted on the calendar all the days I need to work until July 1st - 41 days. It's hidden in my drawer, on a post-it note, but I need that countdown.
