Megan was very sad to leave her very best friend, Angelica; her favorite horse, Reba; Ashley, her riding teacher; and Red, our adopted old dog. But she's adjusting well and making new friends. She even convinced mom and dad to adopt a new Singaporean kitten named Gracie. She's tried tennis, continued piano and violin, and finally started taking riding lessons at the polo club (after a very long waiting list!). She's also enjoying her new suite of rooms on the 3rd floor of our house here, having claimed not one but two bedrooms with a connecting bathroom. One of the biggest adjustments (for mom and dad anyway) was that Megan would be attending middle school. This seemed like a big step for our 10 year-old daughter, mature as she is. Mom admits to tearing up quite a bit in the new student middle school orientation, just thinking about her baby having homeroom, switching classes, eating lunch in that very big cafeteria, and just finding her way around that huge school.
But Megan seems to have taken it all in stride. Other parents at the new parent coffee reported their kids getting lost, going to the wrong class at the wrong time, not having anyone to sit
with at lunch, etc. But Megan didn't seem to have any of these problems. I think she likes changing classes and the challenges of her new school despite all of the additional homework. She worked very hard first quarter and was very proud to have made the honor roll.
