Well I was on pins and needles all day thinking about the boys and their first day of high school. I knew Aaron would find his friends and be fine. I wasn't so sure how Deniss would do. He can sometimes go into his shell around people he doesn't know. But - to my surprise, when I got home, he was all smiles. He had a great day. He said people were very friendly and lots of people wanted to be his friend. Some friends of Aaron's (girls) found him at lunch and had him sit with them. He was quite pleased with the day.
I took the boys to school yesterday and today. Taking Deniss to school has really started to make all of this feel permanent. I knew it was before but somehow - it is really taking hold now.
I picked Deniss up from soccer practice last night to take him to find new shoes. We stopped and got some dinner before heading home. We kept a conversation going all of that time. He has really started talking more about his childhood. We talked about Christmas and Santa. He said he never believed in Santa because Santa never came and brought him anything. He said he never got much for Christmas or birthdays. I told him that Santa would bring him something this year. He just smiled.
