Update

Skipper's first day of preschool went fine yesterday. I think. We didn't get a ton of information out of her. She seems to have talked to at least one person, and she doesn't seem to have cried at all. Success! She didn't want to go back today, and she says she hates the entire Japanese language, but I'm not worried about that yet.

I put a note in her lunchbox for her to find. I thought maybe an adult or a classmate could read it to her, and I included a big drawing of a heart just in case she had to go wordless. When I picked her up, she said, puzzled, "Hey, Mom, somebody put a note in my lunch! It had my name on it!"
