Mental Health Day

Claire needed a mental health day today. She just totally melted down this morning and couldn't get her act together for the bus or school. So, she stayed home. We snuggled in my bed and napped a little bit after the others got on the bus. She really needed some rest. Is she really "sick"...I guess not. Did she need a day off? I think so!

She's in first grade! She is reading at a second/third grade level. Am I worried that she is missing something by staying home today? Nope, not even a little. Everyone needs a mental health day every once in a while. Today was hers!

Hmmmm, maybe I am a "school is optional" kinda Momma.
