January 7, Saint-Ismier.
A week of school now and I tip my hat off to my kids.
Dylan went back the second day after being bullied the first and went every day after that ("Mom, you'd be a pilot and come and rescue me if they bother me;" I was there near the school yard to watch over him that day and that's all it took;) Nicolas came out at lunch-time all smiles, proclaiming that school was great, after I'd left him in tears the second morning, and has been doing just fine since. For kids who had never left me since they were born, no baby-sitter, no day-care, just our circus routine, it is a monumental achievement.
And the way they always skip our predictions, surprising us with who they are.
