So Noah and I started a new school last week.  I just got a job at the Goddard School in Tyrone GA and now Noah gets to go there.  I am very excited about both of those things, but last week was very hard for both of us.  I have gotten to spend just about everyday with Noah, since I’m a teacher and had the summer off.  And now to have him in a new place where he misses me and changed to one nap a day was just really hard.  I came home and cried every night for a week and I still get a little sad that I don’t get to spend time with my baby.  But we had the weekend together and tried to get used to the new routine and I think this week will be much better.

I was so worried that it was going to be a rough adjustment for Noah, but I realized that the problem wasn’t him getting adjusted, it was ME.  Well, this baby being my first one has been a real learning experience for me.  I have had to understand that babies adjust very well and very easily and I also have had to realize how much I actually babied him.  That came as a shock to me, since I have always said I will not baby my children.  But it’s different when it’s your own, right?  Anyways, the bottom line is that kids are amazingly adaptable and resiliant.  They are going to be fine, no matter what situation they are put in as long as they are loved and safe.
