Yesterday was the twins’ 8th birthday.
I had kept my daughter home the day before as she had a cough. While I was in the class, explaining the treat bags to the substitute teacher, I turned and saw my daughter was in the middle of a crowd of 6 girls hugging her and saying “so glad to see you back” and “happy birthday”. I wish I had gotten a picture. It warmed my heart to see my daughter embraced so warmly as I had worried that, despite teachers telling me that she is a social butterfly, she wouldn’t really have friends.
