So far, so good. :)

Em has been in school for a week and a half now and she loves it! If you've read my previous posts you know how nervous I was about her going to Junior High. She hasn't made many new friends yet but she is reconnecting with some "old" ones and that makes me feel so happy for her. She is trying her best to make the kids that feel a little left out a part of things, at least at lunch. She invites them to sit with her and her friends at lunch and tries to include them in the conversations.

She has come to realize that Junior High comes with a lot less social time during the day and a lot more homework at night. :) She doesn't seem to mind though.

I've been seeing less and less of her on the weekends and I miss her being here but I am so glad that she has such nice friends to spend time with.

Before school started she told me that she didn't want to do any school sports. Just today she mentioned to me that she thinks she'd like to try basketball. :) I told her she'd have to be at practice at 6:30 in the morning but she didn't seem to mind. This poses a bit of a problem with the medication she takes for her ADHD. The pill she takes in the morning lasts for about 8 hours or so which means there is no way it will last the whole school day. Not good. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think she'll have to wait to play basketball until next year when practices and games will be after school. She has also showed an interest in track and that is after school so that just might be it for this year. It may not be fair but sometimes life isn't fair and she realizes this.

More to come as the year goes on. :)
