Friday was both Alice and my last day of school. But whereas I have nearly 30 years left at my school (yikes!) this was really her last day at hers, since she'll be going to the school in our new neighborhood next year.
Alice said she felt happy that she wouldn't have any more school (she calls summer break "the long weekend") but sad that she wouldn't see her teachers anymore. We can do playdates with her friends, so she's less worried about missing them. When I picked her up at the playground from after school, I teared up a bit, feeling happy she had such a good experience at this school, and nervous if the new one would be as good.
