first day of (a new) school


first day of school, originally uploaded by nolafilm.

nicolas started at a new school this week. here he is posing in his new uniform.

the week prior he scoped out the new class:
new school visit.
it's a gifted pre-k program at a public school here. mary got him tested a while back and he did really well, so they recommended placement in this program. the class is a lot smaller. there are 6 kids total, including two adorable 4-yr old Japanese twin girls who seem to really like him. He played some music with one of them, Joy, on his initial scoping-out session last week:
new school visit
he'll get a lot more teacher attention and interaction and hopefully have a lot of fun learning at an accelerated pace. overall he seems to have transitioned just fine from his old school (a lot better than we thought he would, and probably better than we did). when we mentioned it to him on Tuesday he said, "yeah, i don't go to that school anymore".

though we may go back there for just a bit tomorrow for their big halloween party so he can see his friends and teachers there one last time, and say goodbye. in costume.

This was taken at 3:30 today while i tried to get some work done. He's so fun when he's not screaming at us. Any of our parent friends out there - what is up with this newborn thing of sleeping for most of the day, and then fussing ALL NIGHT LONG? we're trying to adjust/reverse his schedule, but last night he was wide awake and fussy from midnight to 4 a.m. sorry, no pics of that to share here. he only settled down when mary let him lay on top of her to sleep. we got some gripe water for him, and have been changing and feeding him regularly, but still not having much luck. we even took him to our awesome chiropractor here, who thought he looked great. so if you have a tip, we'll listen.
