First Day Jitters

Holly, the planner, had her evening carefully scheduled. We had a busy day including a church picnic where she swam (played in the pool) for most of the 6 hours that we were there. We came home and relaxed for a moment. She had a sandwich, a shower and got ready for bed. Her clothes that she had decided on days ago were laid out. Then came the hard part – actually falling asleep. We did everything we could to try to get her to sleep. Three hours later she walked into the living room in tears because she couldn’t sleep. I held her for a while and she decided that she was ready to go back to bed. I tucked her in with the promise of checking on her soon.

She finally fell asleep.
