As a school lover myself, the past few years have been rough for me. Caroline has had a really hard time getting in the groove at school. She has made great friends and learned a lot but she has not loved it. In fact, at times, she has straight out disliked it.

This year, however, everything has turned. She has a fabulous teacher and all is right with the world.

The girls go back to school tomorrow after our winter break and I over heard the following earlier tonight:

Caroline: I am so excited to go back to school tomorrow!

Pause, while realizing what she just said…

Caroline: Oh, no not really. I’m not really excited.

Another pause…

Caroline: Ok, fine. I am excited. I guess I really am excited to go back to school.

And then I let out a big sigh of relief. Another school lover is born….
