OK, we’re here!

Yeah.

This is Miss Thompson’s room. See?

Uh-huh.

It looks like a lot of kids are already in there.

Yep.

You know, Kindergarten is nothing to be scared about.

I know that.

There are lots of new kids to meet and the teacher is really nice.

I guess.

And you know we’ll see each other after school, right?

Right.

Are you crying?

Noooo.

Do you want a hug?

Yeah.

Here you go. Now you need to let go of me. Come on, let go.

Alright.

Mommy, are you going to be OK?

Yeah, Sam. I’ll be fine.

Well, then, goodbye!

Goodbye, Sam. Goodbye, my baby.
