Off she goes...

to hopefully make tons of new friends...

...she will struggle with sharing, using her words (rather than screaming or "fake" crying), and taking her turn.

James will be there to guide the way..

and show her how the big kids do it.

Who'd have thought that James would wake up grumpy and not want to play with a puzzle but his little sister listened right away...

...it's all familiar again and it's now a new familiar to Natalie.

After dropping them off, I went home, sat down and made phone calls, drank a cup of coffee, and that only took about 10 minutes. For the rest of the time, I watched the clock... and couldn't wait to pick them up.
