Good Transition

Ensley started in her new class at school this semester. EJ and I were prepared for a melt-down the first couple of weeks when we dropped her off, but she surprised us. EJ took her the first day and said that she immediately grabbed on to his shoulders when they walked in but as soon as the teacher came over to talk with her she reached for the floor and started playing with her friends (who were familiar faces because most of them had been in the younger class with her at some point). He said she looked up at him a couple of times while he was filling out her paperwork and smiled and said "Daddy" but didn't cry or fuss at all. Whoa!

Then her new babysitter picked her up that afternoon and she said she came right to her when she got there and they had a good afternoon playing. When EJ got home that evening, Ensley was asleep on Miss Emily's ("emie") shoulder in the rocking chair.

She has continued to do well with drop-off at school for EJ and I both and has been a sweet girl for Miss Emily.

We were so thankful that both transitions were so smooth. God is so good!
