Pajama Day at School

Amy still occasionally worries about going to school and being left there to "sleep".......in other words..... being left there to stay... indefinitely.
 Forever family is a concept that could take awhile. 
Most  Mondays and anytime after a break,  the fear creeps in and she is unsure about going to school. Once she gets there she really enjoys school. I always get near the front of the carpool line at noon when we pick her up.....we don't want her waiting or watching too long as the other children leave for home.
  Her day is short and sweet ,  9:00 to 12:00, so we are thankful for this provision as she learns and grows in understanding, is nurtured by Godly teachers,  is in a small class, participates in crafts, sings,  plays and learns with children she enjoys.
 I was worried for her concerning pajama day at school as I did not want any confusion. However her teachers did a great job of explaining to her that they were just pretending, that no one is allowed to sleep, or stay overnight at school. They  would be decorating the classroom for Christmas and then going back home in their pajamas in time for lunch! I also reassured her throughout the week before the event.  Amy loved being able to take her stuffed animal horse with her for the day plus waking up ready to go in her pajamas.....no need to get dressed!
Progress.....Amy did not seem to be afraid on the big day and had a great time.
