The kids started school today in their new classes. As I mentioned earlier Madi is in Mason's old class. I have been telling them for a while about the move but they never did quite understand. We started the morning by meeting Will and his brothers for donuts. Will got to meet their new teachers while we were in Arizona and told Mason all about them. Mason told Madi on the way to school that he would take her to her new class and show her everything before he went to his new class and they were both exited.
Once we got to school and took Madi to her new class the tears started. She cried that she wanted to be a baby again and go back to her old class!! I finally handed her over to the teacher and took Mason to his new class. I think it finally sank in that he was moving and he started to cry too. I stayed for a few minutes showing him the toys and talking with teachers and Will came over and told me I could go, that he would be there to take care of Mason for me!!! Mason let me go and never looked back!
Madi's teachers said she had a good day but never said a word. The second she saw me she started to tell me all about her day (and hasn't stopped talking since!!) She has started going to chapel, music, outside to the big playground and eating lunch in the lunch room. I can't wait to see how much she grows because I know she is going to learn to love school and all of the new friends!!
Mason I know had a great day because he too has been talking about it since he got home! He only has 8 kids in his class and they are all boys (poor teachers!!) He got to go to chapel, do art, play outside, go to music and eat in the lunch room too. He already loves school and his new class. I am excited to watch him grow this year as well!!
Love it! I love and miss them sooo much! They're so precious.
