First Day


7:45 am Rio drop-off at the next door neighbor. Ila is quite happy.

In front of the school gates, Ila is starting to get a little nervous.

First 20 minutes in her new classroom. Going pretty well...but then mommy left and all came crumbling down. By the 11:30am pick-up Ila gave up on learning and socializing and in her sorrow fell asleep. Maybe not the worst strategy on the first scary day.

But I think she's still willing to give tomorrow another try.

  2. Significant things in my life,
    What can be more important than:
    The skype, the pictures, a small talk, Ila's first school work.
    All are proud.
    Ila has a first day of school, fell asleep, the talk is nice, feels nice.
    What a nice day,
    Ila with a Teddy Bear.
    Flashback, emotions, uncertainty, all are back
    my daughter's first day at school;
    vanilla ice cream at small cafe, conversation with parents and her friends.
    Now, a new life, a new beginning.
    Suddenly the house has a fragrance of the lilac, the walls have a sunny golden hues.
    Spring and summer in September, all together, a lot of laughter.
    The music feels the room, dancing in the rhythm of samba
    all the dreams, fulfilled and not fulfilled , are not important any more,
    All seems small, insignificant.
    The video on the skype is dark, Maia says it is getting late mom,
    Good night.
