I immediately panicked: I&#8217;ve been talking a lot with the girls about how much I&#8217;ll miss the preschool and how sad I am that my baby is getting so big, and I worried that my feelings of melancholy had rubbed off of Avery. So I asked if she said that because of Mommy and she answered, no, it was because she wasn&#8217;t going to be with her best friend anymore. &#8220;She&#8217;s going to Bulgary this summer,&#8221; she pouted, which is partially true. (She&#8217;s going to <em>Bulgaria<\/em> to be with family. And she&#8217;s not going to Avery&#8217;s school next year.) I told her that we would get to see Sofia a lot before she left, and that we&#8217;d have playdates when the new school year starts, but I&#8217;m not sure that made her feel better. I clearly need to impress upon her that just because things are different doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re sad or bad, and that she&#8217;ll make new friends in kindergarten &#8211; but I need to stop sniffling first.<\/p>\n<p>-M<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today at school, Avery&#8217;s teachers asked the class how they felt about &#8220;moving on&#8221; (about one-third of the class is heading to kindergarten), and Avery told me she answered &#8220;sad&#8221; when it was her turn.
