This next week is going to be full of a lot of exciting beginnings for us. New job, new school, new routine.
Little B is starting at her new preschool. She is nervous and excited all at the same time. We talk a lot about all the new friends she is going to make and how her teacher is so nice. We have done a tour so that she can see where she will eat lunch and where she will hang her backpack. A new purple lunchbox is easing her into this transition as she can not wait to show it off to her new teacher and friends. I am so proud of her. I can tell that she is consciously being so brave. She keeps telling me that she is going walk in to her classroom and say, "Hi friends!" That's my girl!
And I am starting a new gig with my first Fort Worth client, Pier 1 Imports. Woohoo! I am very excited about this opportunity as I am hoping it will open many doors for us. My first day is on Monday and I feel a lot like Little B... nervous and excited all at the same time. Maybe I should get myself a purple lunchbox to calm my jitters.
Aren't change and transition always that way? A mix of emotions all swirled up together. Exciting and anxious. Hopeful and cautious. Exhilarating and intimidating.
It is enlightening watching my girl deal with her emotions as she gets ready for a big moment relative to her life. In some ways, we are so different. She is shy and reserved at first where I am not. But in other ways, we are so similar. How she talks it out. How she calms her fears. Where she chooses to put her focus. As her mom, I do my best to help her navigate her own path through this change. Lots of listening and the careful nudge here and there. She is going to do great!
So wish us luck this next week!
