There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

Day #2: Tears and Smiles

Yesterday Jude was so sad when I went to school.
But I think he got over it today.

He did cry when Mom dropped me off, though. I guess he saw me crying and thought he was next!

I am still trying to get used to the idea that school is every day during the week...and that I have to spend three hours away from Mom. I cried a lot today and that wore me out (so much that I slept all the way to Destin and all the way back!). Ms. Pettebone took care of me though. She held me at first and made me feel better. I told her that my cat's name was Piper and she laughed. She helped me with my weekly job of handing the kids their water cups and I loved it. My favorite part of the day was when she tried to play on the seesaw with me on the playground!
But I told Mom in the car that I don't like Ms. Moon! She does the music. Mom doesn't understand why I dislike Ms. Moon so much and I'm not sure if I know either. I think I just like Ms. Pettebone and that's it. Mom said, "But Ms. Moon is a funny name, huh?" And I laughed. I might like her a tad better now. 
Tonight was fun. I got new school shoes, ate dinner at Moe's, picked out new snacks, and saw Ms. Pettebone at Tropical Smoothie. She gave me a big hug! I wonder what kind of smoothie is her favorite? Maybe I should ask her tomorrow.
