Adventures in Calgary

Molly started Grade One this week. Jake started one of his preschools today. Molly was quite nervous leading up to the day...barely sleeping most nights. But when the day came, she had a great day. Her teacher is Madame Robyn. Ella, Mason, Sage and Chloe are in her class so it's not all new kids. She's been able to see her other friends at lunches and recess. Evyn is her bus buddy. So all is good in Grade One. Jake's first day started off amazing. He was so excited to go to school like Molly. He was excited to wear indoor shoes and use his Thomas the Train cup and plate. We got there early so we could show him around the classroom and introduce him to the teacher...still all good. He gave both Noel and I hugs and kisses goodbye and ran off to the sand table without a backward glance. Noel went to work. I went upstairs to do some paperwork. Then I hear it. The screaming cry I know so well. I have no idea why he got upset. He tells me it's because he was missing me. Who knows. His teacher (Mrs. Martin) said he screamed and cried for a bit and then passed out on the couch and slept the entire class. Hopefully next week will go better for him.
