Little tree
At an event at Zoe’s school this spring, one of the moms commented that it felt like we handed the teachers our babies at the beginning of the school-year – and were presented with little boys and girls nine months later. I understood what she meant: The change in Zoe at 2 years, 9 months (the age in which she started her first year at the JCC) and 3 years, 6 months was incredible, and, like that other parent, I credit her teachers for helping her grow into the happy, fun, educated “big girl” that she is today. And speaking of big, when she started school in the Neta (or “little plant”) class, the 3- and 4-year-old kids in the Elan (or “tree”) class looked and acted so much bigger than she was. And now, just one year later, it’s Zoe who is one of those big Elan kids!
I’m excited for my little tree, who starts school tomorrow, and I can’t wait to see the changes that this next year brings.
