There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the first day in the preK school I started work at this week. I call this Naptime.

The lights are dimmed

In the rooms

Of their new primary colored world.

As the quiet music plays,

Tiny tears and soft sobs

Are heard down the hallway.

Backs are patted,

Hugs are given,

Sad hearts are reassured.

This is so sweet! Although it might not have felt sweet to be surrounded by all of those gnashing teeth! Those little ones are lucky to have you, Karri.

So tender, and so important for kids to feel they can cry in a safe space.
