First day of school!


It was the first day of school today!

Houston started his sophomore year at City. He texted me halfway through the day, saying, "I just learned that i am in middle school lunch again, so i'm trying to rearrange my classes so that i can be in high school lunch." And then he went to the counselor and took care of it all by himself, and now he is both in lunch with his fellow high schoolers AND he has the Spanish teacher he had last year who loves him. I am just super happy to see him taking the initiative to just take care of it all on his own. GO HOUSTON! He's super excited about all of his classes and his teachers, so that's awesome.

Katrina is an 8th grader this year. She came home from school with her pile of papers to be signed all organized for me to sign and a couple of notebooks to decorate like a Tardis and "something else cute." She also came home starving because the poor girl can hardly eat anything right now, partly because her face hurts and her teeth hurt when she chews, but mostly because there's a gap between the metal expander and the roof of her mouth, and everything even the slightest bit chewy gets stuck in there. She's been kind of living on jello and yogurt and air.

Zane is in 6th grade, and is very excited about being a middle schooler. The first thing he told me when i picked them up was, "I totally went to the wrong class today!" He was totally cheerful about it, completely unconcerned that he'd gone to the completely wrong classroom. Also, he was completely thrilled about his lunch table and being able to sit with friends. A promising start to middle school.
