first day of school!

She didn't cry; she was happily flattening playdoh. She didn't actually say "c'mon, Mom, quit hugging me, I'm busy here," but it's possible she was thinking it.

I didn't cry either; too excited and proud for my big, big girl.

Well, the first day of school tends to be a day to pull out the pretty dress, or at least the big time pink, so, yeah, I think I can see where it codes at least androgynous.

That's fair. I suppose by next year she'll have internalized all that stuff and will want a pink dress for her first day too. I'm glad to have gotten one year of free rein - I feel like a monster says "I'm ready for anything!" much more than a pretty dress does...
