Just as we began to understand where we were, and how to drive to the gas station, school started, opening another whole can of worms. They wanted us to bring the kids the first day, which of course was comical because of the map issue. Anyway, we were all nervous, as neither kid had ever been a new kid, and there were so many unknowns.
One of the things that I like here is that everyone wears a uniform, so everyone is starting at the same place, no matter what their economic situation is. The thing that the kids like is that their uniforms are these comfy polo shirts, and jeans. The other thing I like, is that Natasha has knocked off about 45 minutes of prep time prior to leaving for school.
I was a nervous wreck that day, I cleaned most of the day ( this is still Lori writing). The results were mixed. Alexander joined a class of kids of whom many had recently joined the school. He met kids and liked them right away. He likes his classes for the most part and is happy going to school. Natasha definitely has had a harder go of it. She is the only new kid in her class and it seems that the kids have been together a while. That said, she went for it, and at this point, is loving her teacher, and likes the kids. She comes home smiling, which warms our hearts
