Friday was Spirit Day for the bambinos’ new school. I can’t get over how much they (the bambinos) have already attached themselves to this place. I went to the pep rally in the afternoon before school ended. I wanted to see what it was all about. And I wanted to see how K, O, and M acted there. Getting verbal reports from them that school is “great” is different than actually being able to see them there, and seeing how they behave there. I was blown away by how true to themselves, and at home, the three of them were. They are working super hard (the academic work is much more challenging than their previous school), but they are holding their own and doing just great. Switching schools was a huge decision for us. So, it felt really good to see K, O, and M on Friday — really in their element — really happy, and really authentically them. The school mascot is a cougar (named “Paws”), and the school color is red. You’d think the bambinos had been going there their whole lives given their level of school pride.
