That evening, Lewis went to bed early. He was still worried about going to school the next morning. What was he going to do without his mommy? They did everything together. She was his bestest friend ever. When Lewis is scared, his mommy is always there to make him feel better. She’s there to kiss his Boo-boo’s better when he gets hurt and she gives the very best hugs in the whole entire world! Lewis was so worried about missing his mommy that he hardly slept a wink. *** “Lewis, time to wake up, today is your first day of school.” His mother said, cheerfully. When Lewis didn’t stir, his mother playful shook his shoulder. Squeezing his eyes shut tightly, Lewis rolled over hugging his tummy, groaning in pain. “I don’t feel so well mommy, I can’t go to school.” Lewis grumbled. His mother placed her hand on his forehead to see if he was warm. Lewis was just the right temperature. “Nice try, Lewis. Come on let’s get you ready for school.” She said.
