It feels really good to have the first week of school behind us. It was a smashing success and we are all adjusting really well. Jensen was barely home on Thursday when he started groaning that it would be 2 days till he got to go back to school! Hopefully this enthusiasm will continue all year! It has been really fun to watch them each respond in their own way to the change and the excitement of it all. Riley has been talking all week about a new friend he made. One afternoon he was almost inconsolable because he missed her so much and it was so long until the next day when he could see her again! It has made it easier for him to get on the bus each morning, though he still wants a long hug and has to be gently pulled away and helped to his seat. He was pretty proud of the fact that he was given some homework to work on. It has been special to have a little time with him when he gets home from school and watch his eyes sparkle as he talks about his day. Pruitt, who is the shyest of the 3, has really been blossoming. He's been telling me about his new friends and that he's not shy anymore. I can see him growing in confidence which tells me he is in a very secure and positive environment. It does my heart so much good to see him doing so well and being so happy. Jensen is so happy to be learning again and has been delving into research as well as throwing himself into as many activities as possible. He has been so excited to make new friends and to have so much to do. He is thriving!
I have had a good week too. I think I can get used to having long quiet mornings! I have been quite busy with all the housework as well as getting things ready for the guest house and doing some hosting.
All in all, the transition has been going very well and we are grateful.
