Well, not really a letter, but rather a phone call. Friday afternoon, while I was in class and J was at the playground with Gus after school: our top kindergarten choice let us in! We are so so so happy and relieved: we are set for the next 6 yrs (and longer if Gus wants to go to their middle\/high school), they are friendly and progressive, and no homework for kindergarteners, hooray!<\/p>\n
On the minus side, poor Gus is not having the easiest transition. He’d gone back to his old school last week and reunited with a best buddy who’d been away all summer, and now we are making him go someplace else. He’ll be fine soon enough, and did really well today on his first day (though we didn’t make it the whole day and I was there the whole time). But of course we have a ton to do with our work and school too, so hopefully the transition will not take too long (selfish, selfish me).<\/p>\n
Woah, it’s been so long, internets! We have been busy here in Brooklyn. First our vacation, which was lovely (read 3 books) if terribly rainy (7 out of 9 days). Then my classes started, and they are all shaping up to be pretty fun, with the papers\/projects nicely spaced, too. Then the kindergarten thing. I am looking forward to a few weeks from now when we are all set in our new routines (and maybe the house will be clean by then, too).<\/p>\n
