What if he was scared? What if he missed me? I decided to do the grown-up thing and not tell him how I 37. I assured him that 38 would be just fine. 

The night 39 school started, Rob and I sat down. I hugged him and asked if he had any questions about what he could expect tomorrow ... “I’m 40 excited, Mommy, but I’m a little 41 about what I should do 42 I miss you,” he said sheepishly （胆怯地）.

After about a week I found it on his dresser.  I guessed he was secure enough in his new situation that he didn’t 55 it anymore.

I, on the other hand, kept it in my pocket for a few more days.
