So today was the big day. We got up this morning and put on pretty dresses (well the Girlies did, I went with capris) and headed off to our first day at the new school. I am able to walk them to school from our new house which is very nice though it would be better if our side walks hadn't all been torn out in preparation for replacing them. It was a good walk all the same.
It's not so different for the Girlies, going to a new school, but that doesn't really make it easy. They handled it like little troupers though. Bitty tends to be an anxious kid but she was wonderful this morning. New school, new teachers we had never met, all new kids, but she was like an old pro. It was a little harder for Bug because her class was so quite when she got there. The teacher ignored us and the kids all looked at the new kid like her head was spinning around. I'm sure it will be great though because Bug is amazingly good at making friends. I think it was probably the hardest on me.
At the old school I knew everyone. I knew the teachers, the kids, the parents, the administrators. I could be absolutely confident that nothing would go wrong. I don't know anyone at the new school so it felt like I was just abandoning my daughters on an alien planet. I'm sure I'll survive. *whine* To make me feel better I have a little video of them walking down my front sidewalk. Want to see? (This was made with my new Flip Video.
