First Day of School

Samantha is in 2nd grade now and so grown up. Derrick just started kindergarten and so we have two kids growing up so fast. KayDee insists she is all grown up and can go too.
Samantha started school on Thursday and Derrick started on Friday. Derrick has had to go through the disappointment that school is only half day. We tried to explain that to him before school started but he didn't understand until it was happening. Now he goes happily and without the same conversation that he goes to school after lunch and he rides the bus home with Sam.
KayDee is still getting used to the idea that she is not going and for the past couple of days has finally not pouted when we drop Derrick off. I have never seen our KayDee pout so much so this is a new experience.
Both kids have already had teacher changes. Derrick's teacher changed because his other teacher started "Reading Recovery". Samantha's changed because there was a down syndrome girl coming into her class since her class had more Aid help. Her class was too large and so she was moved to another to even out numbers and also have more of a challenge (which she needs). She is super happy since her best friend is in her new class!
Everything always works out and hopefully we are done with dramatic changes...
