Then and Now

The boys have been in their new school for almost 2 weeks, and there have been a few changes in their life experiences since the switch.

Then: (whiny voice) I don't want to go to schooool . . .
Now: (crying) I don't want to go home!!! I want to stay heeeere!!!

Then: (enviously) Corey eats a doughnut for breakfast every day.
Now: (confused) There's a girl in my class who had seaweed for lunch.

So far, none of his new friends have expressed the aspiration to grow up and smoke cigarettes, which is refreshing. Liam and Finn also eat breakfast together at school, and Finn has been excitedly telling me about his day. "I played cars!" "Fish and shawks!" He's also been singing new songs.

Overall, it has been a good switch!
