Separation

One of the interesting things about the past week was that the kids were separated. Yes, they had gone to school of the other was sick but not really done something new without each other.

Clara went to soccer camp hardly knowing anyone and had a great time. She gave Emma a hug in the morning and was excited to see her after camp. It was also really great to see a once super shy kid totally excel at something and do it on her own.

It was also great that Clara got the trophy, but hard on Emma . Although of she had been in the group and not been awarded the trophy like Clara, it would have been worse. Clara was pretty good about letting Emma hold the trophy too.

It seems timely since they are nervous about going to kindergarten and being separated. It provided opportunity to discuss being different etc.
