Adjusting

The kids are adjusting to their new schools.  It hasn't been as smooth as I had hoped.  Olivia hates, I mean, HATES the fact she has to wear a uniform.  I can't say I blame her - I think it's silly that a public school requires a uniform.  And FYI, no, it doesn't save you money because you end up buying new clothes for them to wear outside of school *on top* of the uniforms you have to buy.  I think she's a bit overwhelmed and just not admitting it.  Her class size is bigger than before, she doesn't know but a few people in her classes, and she doesn't have Cooper to fall back on.  She's being a trooper though and I love her for it.  I really do think it'll get better for her - she just needs to give it some time.

 

Cooper, on the other hand is LOVING his new school.  Well, for the most part anyways.  He's not happy that he has to tuck his shirt in and it seems to really bother him when he sees someone without their shirt tucked in.  He told me yesterday that he told a little boy in his class that he needed to tuck in his shirt and the little boy told him to stop "annoying him" so Cooper walked away.  I think it hurt his feelings a little - in his mind, he was just trying to help and keep the little boy from getting in trouble.  My boy has "Hall Monitor" written all over him folks.  :) 

 

All in all, it's only been three days - and this is a big move for both the kids and I know it's going to take a few weeks for them to get comfortable where they are.  I just hope those few weeks go by quickly!  :) 

 

How's school going for your little ones?
