...was the start of classes for local public schools. So I have seen lots of little people while I was at work this week, dressed in crispy new school clothes. Some in uniforms that look so 'grown up' and business like seeing the sharply creased khaki pants and freshly unpackaged white collared knit shirts. Or brightly colored, obviously newly purchased flouncy little dresses - so new they have yet to be laundered and faded with washings. Little guys in fresh, stiff-as-a-board, almost with the tags still attached, jeans with pants cuffed until they have the growth spurt mom expects before they wear them out.
Reminding me of years ago with little back-to-schoolers, who had to have new dresses and shoes for the first day of returning to class. Along with new book bags, and new unsharpened, freshly purchased pencils, patiently posing by the front door, with big sparkly grins, waiting for photos to be done, as we marked the new beginning. Ready to get started with a new school year!
