The first days of school are filled with excitement, apprehension, and the occasional tears. Familiar friends are delighted to see one another again as they run and embrace in hugs that end up with bodies tangled on the ground. Old routines and habits (kitty speak) quickly fall back into place for those returning. Last year’s newbies are now professional preschoolers. But their confidence does not keep them from seeing the deer-in-the-headlight-faces of this year’s newbies. They know too well the feeling of walking into a room, scared and unsure. They remember when the strange adults took their hands as they waved goodby to their beloved parent. Last year’s “littles,” now the big kids, see the needs of the inexperienced. Lucas shows Callum where the bathroom is, Isla wants to share her Tandy Bear with Chris who is missing his dad, Louisa explains tape to Anya. They take the hands of the new children and lead them into this mysterious world of school.
