today was ava's first day of school. it was a mommy and child visiting day, and it went really well. she appeared to have nothing but positive commentary. she knew a lot of kids already, and absolutely loved the guinea pig. when we arrived at the school and we were walking in together, i managed to get an attack of nerves that was identical to the anxiety attacks i always got on the first day of school. leave it to me to be the nervous one!
