Sing, sing a song!

Sam has been opening up a lot more about school and it has been so fun hearing about her day. Weird, in some ways though. She has this whole life that we have no part of now. School is her thing, not ours, and we don’t control it, observe it, or otherwise have any real idea about what happens other than what she tells us. Yet one more sign our little girl is growing up and moving away from us, even at such a young age. She is really excited about school now. It used to be when Mrs. McCann knocked on the door and opened it for the kids to come through she would hang back with me. Now, I am lucky I get a kiss goodbye before she runs off through the door. We walk to and from school as much as possible and she just skips all the way home. We always ask if she played with any of the kids and she says she does, but it is hard to say with her. She is still a little timid, but I think she is opening up more. She has mentioned a girl named Sadie a few times (although for a while she kept calling her Kasey — there is no Kasey in her class — and we had to go through the class list with her to figure out who she meant). She seems to be fitting in really well and having a good time. Yesterday, she was singing this cute little song they learned and I was shocked at how well she knew the whole thing. I had never heard it before. Here it is:
Way up high in the apple tree
Four little apples smiled at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down fell an apple
Mmmm, it was good!
She even rubs her tummy when she sings the last line. So cute!
