Today is the first day of school. Fortunately, we can walk to our new school just like we did to our old school. Andrew and Matthew were up bright and early to be ready to go on time.
Notice how tired Andrew looks? That is because he was so anxious and nervous that he couldn't go to sleep until about 12:40 last night. He was beside himself. I was up with him rubbing his back, playing soothing music... anything that would help. We dropped him at his class first. His teacher remembered his name as he walked in and that seemed to help. I think just getting past today will be a major hurdle and it will be all down hill from here.
After I reminded him to get his backpack, Matthew was ready to go too. He didn't seem quite as nervous as Andrew, but he was acting really silly, a sure sign that he was feeling a little anxious. He went into his class and was greeted warmly by his teacher.
I can't wait to hear what kind of day they had. I hope they each met at least one friend.
