If you are thinking that the entryway looks different from last year's first day photo, then you would be correct. I made a difficult decision. One which, at the moment, I'm not so sure was the right choice. I switched her to a closer school. This saves forty minutes of driving each day.** Which is great for me since I don't like driving. And I know it will be especially nice once the snow starts flying, but the adjustment hasn't been the easiest. I had hoped for the best, but it isn't going exactly the way I had expected. It turns out the curriculum at the new school is slightly different and there are different characters that she needs to learn. So we've been working hard to try and get her caught up.
I've got my fingers crossed (yet again) that she'll be able to, not only catch up, but also thrive at this new school. And the sooner the better, because the Regime is upset. I think he might want me to put her back in the other school, or worse, to quit Chinese immersion all together.
*And our tired eyes. We aren't morning people over here. It's seriously gonna take some time to get adjusted to our new routine.
**I love our house and neighborhood. But sometimes I wonder if we rushed that decision. Maybe we should have rented a place near the previous school until we could find a house in our price range out that way. Ugh. Too late for that now.
