The First Day

We decided to send the girls to classes for home school students on Mondays and Thursdays. Monday is a half day of learning history through music, art and drama. Thursdays are a full day of academics taught from a classical learning approach. Skyla is in second grade this year and August is in Kindergarten. Skyla enjoyed the same program last year but this is one of many firsts for August.

My thoughts were full of August yesterday as I was hoping she was having a great time and tear free. After school I found out that she did get upset as they began her Spanish class. However, they brought her to Skyla. Skyla explained to me that she gave her a hug, held her hand, walked her back to class and stayed with her until she calmed down. She was fine the rest of the day. I am grateful for the power of sibling love.
