Caterpillars crawl before they fly

School started last week (sort of) for Isabelle. After hunkering down for Hurricane Irene last Saturday and Sunday, we finally got power restored on Sunday night. We were the lucky ones, some just got it back this past weekend! Schools were closed for Monday and Tuesday last week due to widespread power outages. The county reopened school on Wednesday but there were still some individual schools in the county that were closed b/c of power outages. This week, all schools are open and back to a normal schedule.
In addition to the power outages, Isabelle came home from school SICK on Thursday so she missed Friday. So last week was just all messed up. She went to school today, and we've bribed her with a big ice cream outing on Friday if she can get through all this week without any tears. She managed to choke them back this morning so we'll see how she does the rest of the week. We're hoping this adjustment period goes by quickly and she starts to love school soon!

Here is her schedule in case you grandparents want to know what she's up to each day...
