How is it possible that they are in 7th and 4th grade?!?
Julia, on her experience riding the same bus she rode last year: "I felt like a cool kid 'cause I was in 7th grade!" She had a good first day, discovering she had friends from swim team, from her cluster last year, from her elementary school, AND even from preschool in various classes. Perhaps the highlight of the day, however, was the boy who mistakenly tried to pee in the girls' bathroom, only to be told "This is the GIRLS' ROOM!" by Julia's friend, leaving Julia and her friend cracking up in the aftermath.
Madeleine enjoyed her first day as well, although the thing she's REALLY enjoying is the new tv series prequel to "The Dark Crystal." Apparently, at recess, she named one of her friends Brea, after one of the tv show's main characters. As we walked home from school, her friend announced wearily, "Madeleine kept talking ALL ABOUT The Dark Crystal at recess!" Madeleine could barely sleep last night over her excitement about the show and her idea to be one of the Gelflings for Halloween. So I suspect there will be some school writing about the characters - or some thinly veiled plagiarism of the story - in the days to come!
Happy 1st day, girls!
Does Madeleine realize that you are a real Elf? Far better than a made up Gelflings.
