Dave began his new job today. He is no longer in training, but a sworn in officer of the federal government with a desk and everything. He felt pretty good about the vibe in the office, and about reporting in to work daily for the next year. He told me that Secretary Clinton came to his desk to personally welcome him to the department this morning; and he thought it was awfully funny that I believed him.
Lilly is settling into her school and class. She has her first playdate tomorrow afternoon, and talks about a few of her friends regularly. She doesn't have quite the comfort level she had in Mrs B's class in Shenzhen, but she still seems confident and happy.
Sophia is in a Montessori classroom, which I think is the perfect place for her right now. She has plenty of choices she can make, and a wonderful teacher paying close attention to her needs and her strengths. I see her growing in this school, and I'm so glad she's there.
I'm still feeling unsettled, though. Keeping 3 kids on different school and sleep schedules, and all within a small apartment without a yard is exhausting. The lack of social interaction is depressing. And being homeless is unsettling.
