First day of school... Moments of 'newness'

There' moments you see your kids go through where you identify with them completely. No matter how confident, accepted or secure they are, there are those moments of 'newness' that feel like there is nothing to talk about. First days of school are filled with such things.

Most of the time, they bounce back and find their stride, as if nothing was ever different. For our little observer, Chloe watches with a reserved presence beyond her years.
