FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

So, Tuesday was the first day of school and we were all a bit tired. We arrived home from Montana at 3 am on Tuesday morning and got to sleep a bit more (after sleeping in the car!?) and then it was off to school! It went in shifts as follows: Ashtin had to be out the door just after 7:00 for Middle School, Cortnee was scheduled for Traffic Patrol this whole week and she arrived at 8:00. It was then Abby's turn for a long day (first grade), arriving at 8:20. Wyatt starts Pre-school in a few weeks. Considering our lack of sleep, the morning went pretty well- or so I thought. Ashtin did great at her first day of Middle School, Cortnee had everything down pat (even has her same, favorite teacher). Abby on the other hand... basically at the end of school when I walked over with the boys to get her- Cortnee, about five teachers, the school counselor and the principal informed me that Abby had a rough day. By the time her teacher approached me to brief me on the situation, I told her I already knew the scoop. So, three school days later, Abby is still having a tough time transitioning into the full day routine and constantly says "she misses her sisters". What's crazy is that she wasn't nearly this hysterical for preschool or kindergarten. She also acts like, and basically thinks that she's at least ten years old at home, so what gives?? Anyway, we will continue to work with the school (apparently, it seems to be a whole school effort) and her teacher to get her over her reservations. Just when you think you've got everything under control with your kids, they throw you a curve ball!
