School

School for the kids has been an interesting little journey. We had no real expectations of what it would be like for them once we got them into school - except that there would be a steep learning curve and we should probably expect some hiccups. In the conversations that we had leading up to getting them started, we assumed that Jaxon would have an easier time than Lily - as she is just a little needier : ). As it turns out, we were wrong. One thing to note before I get too far into this - when we placed the kids in school we were faced with the question of which grade to put them into. In America Lily would have been in 3rd, Jaxon in 2 nd . If the school year were on the same calendar here as the US, it would have been easier - just put them in the grades they are supposed to be in. But, the the school year begins in April, which is when students begin their new grade. If we had put them into 2 nd and 3rd, they would have each had just one month of that grade before moving...
