It’s a pretty shocking thing, I imagine, returning from two weeks in the Philippines with your mother and dropping directly into the third day of school. Kina was fine on Monday, but I think she woke up on Tuesday realizing that she was going to be spending a lot less time with Mommy. This all led to a bit of a morning breakdown; we told her that I’d be taking her to school, and things got clingy. I eventually got her out the door, but she needed a little cry to come to terms with the many realities of September.
I was glad to be there for her, even if I’m not Mommy. I have my own signature moves, and they come in handy.
