Well, we all made it through our first day of school! Whew! What an emotional rollercoaster! The kids did great, I felt like I was abandoning every one of them to a roomful of strangers! Quincy was one of 5 new kids in his classroom and with a native Texan as his teacher. He loved all of her "y'alls" throughout the day - felt like he was back in Austin. Taba was the only new kid in her class but her teacher made a huge effort to get her involved and knowing people right away. Her teacher is also really big into reading and writing so Taba felt like she fit right in and immediately made two new friends, Hannah and Vivian. Calvin was one of 7-8 new kids in his class with a very bubbly, friendly teacher. He was the most excited of all the kids and had a "totally awesome" day. Max has a very young, very nice teacher and a parakeet in the classroom so he did fine. He wiped his eyes a few times when I left but that was it, he was ready to go! Heartbreaking! Quincy and Tabitha ride the bus home from school and get home about 15 minutes before Max and Calvin get out of school so we all walked together to pick them up. It was very nice! We'll see how a whole day of school goes tomorrow.
