Now the boys are back in school. Corwin now has to go to a bus stop that is not within sight of our house. It’s actually all the way down near the entrance to the subdivision. This means, among other things, that he can’t wait until he hears the bus turning the corner before running out to catch it. He has to actually keep to a schedule. I suspect it will be rough for the first couple of years but hopefully he’ll get the hang of it before he’s in High School. Mom is planning on offering him the alternative of biking to school, which is more work but also more flexibility in scheduling. As for Corwin’s first day of middle school? “It wasn’t so bad. Lunch was good.”
Charles seems OK with school, his first day being “good”. I haven’t met his new teacher yet, although I think Mom has. Charles claims to have spoken with the teacher but I think I will hold off on confirmation until we have a parent / teacher conference.
