Yep, Jamie had his first day today at his new school. They are working on a gradual schedule, so this week he and the other new students are there from 8:15-10:15. He has been expressing a little nervousness about the new school and sadness about leaving his old school and friends, but on the whole has been pretty calm about the whole business. It's helped that a lot of his other friends from Pre-K are starting to leave to go to new schools as well. Plus he gets to go to the old school in the afternoon this week, so I think that has given him a comfort zone as well.
We were a bit nervous because at St. Catherine's does a curbside drop-off as one of the teachers or assistants walks all the kids from the car to the classroom and Jamie has always liked to have some lingering time for hugs as we get to the classroom. But he was non-plussed by the new system and was chatting away with his escort as we pulled off. And then, when we picked him up, we had a more or less best case scenario as he got in the car and said "That was TOTALLY fun!" Pretty proud of the little fellow.
