Evelyn walked real slowly to TCS. Kind of taking things in I guess. She put on her backpack and took her lunch box from me (not forcefully, but like dad I'm supposed to be carrying that to go to school).
Went through what I believe is the new cafeteria. No one in there, which I thought was odd for a 1st day and lost parents. Anyway, tried the Spanish class 1st since it had little people chairs. Got directions from ?teacher?. Upstairs. Okay. Stairs on the left lead to 2nd floor. Went right, no left, no right. Finally asked another teacher looking type standing around where the Big Bend classroom was. To the right.
Went in there. More confusion as there is a foyer with cubbies for an older class. Finally saw the sign on glass window for Big Bend room. Evelyn and I went in and lots of people milling about. Found the cubbies. Evelyn just starts unloading her stuff in a random cubby. looks like she has business to attend to. Finally locate her cubby (not in alphabetically order, I think...). Drop off her stuff. Point out her cubby nametag. Dad explains that her water bottle is in her backpack. Okay dad, whatever...Evelyn zips off to a waist high sandbox table filled with dinosaurs or was it dinosaurs an animals or just animals?. 2 seconds in she is commandeering a giant elephant from a boy similarly engaged. She tries the trick of handing him a different toy. He goes for it. Sucker! I tell her that Nana will be there to pick her up at around 12:30. Take two pics, just missed a quick shy smile. Stand around for a moment and realize she'll be okay. Dad goes to work.
