Loving Kimochi's Nesting Heart

By Megan Schmidt September 4, 2012

When my daughter started Kindergarten this Fall, I didn't expect that separating at drop off would be an issue for a little girl who had always skipped happily into Pre-K.

Boy was I wrong.

Adding to her anxiety was the Elementary School’s "no dolls" policy which meant she couldn't even rely on having her treasured "lovie" in her backpack.

Kimochi's Nesting Heart made all the difference in our second week of school. Together, we loop it onto her backpack each morning. Its cozy feel and friendly face help to remind my daughter that she's taking a piece of our home with her into the "great unknown" each day.
