*So this will be the last note, but there will be one more which will be the twist! Bit of a time jump in this one.*
August 17th: One week till Kindergarten
Am I the only one freaking about Bonnie starting Kindergarten soon? She literally starts next week and no one else is the slightest bit worried. They all seem like it's not a big deal. They're wrong, it's a huge deal. Bonnie turned six last month and it's usually around that time that kids begin to do more for themselves, learn harder, more advanced information, and be away from their parents for longer hours of the day. They also meet new kids. Bonnie is shy, I'm not going to sugar coat that. She was shy around Andy, but eventually came around. I really worry about her and how she'll do. Andy was a puddle of nerves when he went to kindergarten. This was also after he had found out his dad passed away, so he really didn't want to leave his mom. Normally he's like Bonnie when he's by himself: Spunky and outgoing. But when he entered his new classroom, it was a week before he interacted with any kids. Luckily, he had me with him. He held onto me tight and felt safe. Bonnie needs that. She needs a bit of comfort knowing that someone is there for her and will help her get through this. Maybe I can do that for her! Yeah, this could be my last attempt, my one last shot at trying to be there for her. I have to go with her tomorrow, I just have to!
*Look out for that twist I mentioned. You'll be happy, trust me.*
