First day of school looks a bit different this year, for a couple of reasons. First, our big 5th grader was a walker this year. It was fairly nerve wracking, but it's only about 4 blocks and we knew he could handle it. Which led to the second, we had to get this kid a phone. And it begins.... and third, we count ourselves very lucky that our district started on time, safely, and offered in person. As I'm typing this, it has been 2 months, and we are still in person with no covid issues. He has to wear a mask all day and we've gone through every kind of mask that is made trying to find one he can tolerate all day. It will become a lot more tolerable as the weather cools. But kids are amazingly adaptive and he's taken to the new world like a fish to water, very few complaints.
