On the drive there within the mornings he tells me, “I’m so excited!!” After I decide him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my palms!!”). Daniel and I are so completely satisfied and relieved that he’s adjusting effectively to a brand new state of affairs, particularly after final yr and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I wished to make the transition as simple as attainable for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would wish (what the heck is a rain swimsuit?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too.
