Where has the summer gone!?! We had registration at Harrison's school today. He was unhappy to learn that his best friend, Sage, is in the other 5th grade class this year. His other best friend, Malcolm, was listed in both classes - so he doesn't yet know how to feel about that. He also was hoping to have the same teacher he had last year, who moved up to teaching 5th grade this year - but instead he was assigned to the other teacher. I wasn't worried, because she was actually my music teacher when she first started teaching, and I know she's just as great now as she was back then. Unfortunately, we found out today that she took a different position, so Harrison and his fellow classmates will have a new teacher from England. The good news is that Dylan will be in his class, along with many other kids he is fond of, so I think he'll be just fine (but don't try to tell him that right now!)
It's up to Grammy and G-boy to cheer him up, though, as he is currently on vacation at their house. He was suffering with some cabin fever this summer, since the floods wiped out most of our field trip opportunities for this summer. So we came up with the solution of sending him away for the rest of the week (all the way up the hill to mom and dad's house). He even packed a suitcase and everything. Hopefully he'll have a fun time but also be glad to get back home on Sunday. I got to see him briefly at registration, and we're all having dinner with Liz this evening, so I don't know how much he'll feel like he's "away". We'll wait and see.
