Maddy did much better today.  I drove her to school, got down and walked her to her class line.  She was all smiles, we kissed, huged and said goodbye.  I picked her up after and, again, all smiles.  She was excited to share her morning with me.  Her favorite part?  Being able to go outside and play with her friend, Sofia.  They are in different classes, but both classes were outside together for a bit after snack time.  She said she made a friend in her class, but she can't remember her name. 

 

 

We got home she had lunch and we did her reading homework together.  She was not happy about having to read, but she pulled through.  They are sent home a monthly log and a seperate log where she colors in a shape for each day she completdx her reading.  They are to turn this in, completed, and then they will get a prize/sticker.  It all new to her, homework, but I know, eventually, she won't fight me on having to do it.  It will just be part of her routine. 

 

Zachary didn't want to be driven to school so he asked if he could go to the stop alone.  I said, "NO WAY!"  Thankfully, Law understood his need of wanting to be with his friends and went to the bus stop with him.    I think this is how it will work every morning as long as Law doesn't have to be to work early, which almost never happens.  I think sooner rather than later, Maddy will want to join her brother, anyway.
