In the past two days both Robby and Timmy have received unsolicited compliments from their teachers. Both boys were beaming with pride as they relayed the sentiments to us. I loved seeing the pride on their faces as they excitedly showed shared their stories with Scott and I. I'm glad that they value academic feedback so highly! Being back in the schools has provided me with an updated appreciation for the respect for education that my boys hold. I cannot imagine battling each day to simply go to school.
Timmy absolutely adores his new school. Although the teachers and many of the students remained the same, the format and many of the programs have been adjusted for new platforms. I haven't seen him this enthusiastic about school and learning. He happily logs in each morning, excited to see his friends and continue the projects from the previous day. It is hard to remember that this is the same kid who, just a few years ago, had me hiding in bathroom so that I could privately cry while stuffing my face with the contraband DoubleStuff Oreos.
So far, everybody seems to be adjusting well to my new job. Now if I could only figure out how to not be so exhausted at the end of each day...
