today was the first day of vbs at our church. the girls were really excited to go and maya was up at 5:30 because she knew we had to get up early-i was thinking before 8.
everything went well until we all came back into the sanctuary at the end of the morning and it happened. she saw me. and had to be with me right now. after some crying, she came and sat on my lap and it took her about an hour to regain composure-including hitting me and olivia at one point.
we made a special trip to the freeze after we left (already planned) and i asked them what their favorite part of the day was. O said right away, “when i finally saw you at the end”. my heart breaks. then maya said that it was a very sad day for her. and she was not going back tomorrow. of course o went into a list of all the wonderful things that happened today, but maya was not convinced. hopefully she will decide differently tomorrow!
i know it is good for her-she is with other adults that love her and she knows all the kids in her class. all of them. and one is her sister, ps. but i think she was a little upset that she might not be as tough as she thinks she is. a hole in her armor.
