Bittersweet Day




Tomorrow is DD's last day of Kindergarten. Today, she got off the school bus carrying a big paper bag filled with her artwork that had been hanging in the classroom, a bag of pencils and crayons, her journal notebook, and her name tag. When I told her it was a bittersweet day, she said, "What does bittersweet mean?" I said, "Well, it means happy and sad at the same time. Mommy is happy that you have grown and learned so much this school year, and I'm sad that you've come to the end of your kindergarten year, and you'll never be five and a half again." She listened quietly. I think she understood.
