Ali's new school building

Back in February, the girls school announced that they would be opening a new campus for the early years program. At the time we were not happy about this decision. We didn't want to disrupt Ali's school by moving her to a new building for a year. We liked having Sofia and Ali in the same school. It helped with drop off and pick up but it also gave them comfort to know their sister was just down the hall and that they would see each other at outside playtime. I know they didn't necessarily play together all the time but just the sisterly "hi" in passing was really great for them. There was a lot of discussion and angst but at the end of the day we agreed to move Ali to the new location. Mainly becuase the teachers that Sofia had for Recpetion would be at the new location and we wanted Ali to have those same teachers. The new school year started in September but the new site was not completed so Ali started in the same location as Sofia which I was happy about. The new building is now complete and Ali has transitioned to the new building. She seems to really enjoy it and is happy to go. Sofia had a more difficult time with it since she was sad that she wouldn't see Ali during school. After the first couple of days though Sofia has stopped voicing any sadness over the change. I know she is still feeling it a bit though since she has the option to ride a bus from the new location to her school location with her friends but she is insitent upon me driving her. I think she is trying to claim her attention time. I'm hoping soon she will accept the new situation and things will go back to normal.
