At the start of the month, John and Larkin have now been in the new day care for about 2 weeks. Going into it, we knew this month would be difficult for all of us, each in our own way. But, there is nothing we can do besides to take it day by day, and so we do.
John and Larkin have adjusted well to the new daycare. It’s been difficult for them, without question. They ask for their former teacher Latonya often, and their other friends at their old school. Even though they are getting comfortable with their new school, almost every morning, they still ask about Latonya, their other teachers, and their friends, as if they will be headed to see them after breakfast. We all know that they’ll be OK and make the adjustment, but it’s difficult to see them going through yet another unexpected life change. Paul alone has dropped off and picked them up each day, and this will continue for a while. He wants things to stay consistent until they really feel totally comfortable there.
