Savannah went off on the bus a few minutes ago. Her green hair shining, as she walked beautifully across the still frosted lawn. She's one of my early risers, happy to be choosing her own path, walking off to her chosen mecca of friends. She knows that she has the choice to be at home, yet she likes the individuality she feels this year. Being always homeschooled, she was curious about school. She found out that there are good things, and bad about it, but overall, for her, the choice was to finish out the year.
We discuss friends, and how most people at school don't act like she and her other friends are used to acting, but she is learning to be a chameleon, and likes testing her skills for fending off their barbs.
She also loves to come home and be pampered! The other night I spend half an hour giving her feet the spa treatment, and sometimes, she just HAS to go somewhere, because she feels trapped with the whole school/home, school/home, school/home cycle of the week. And at other times, all the constant noise at school overstimulates her, and she spends a hour or two locked in our office singing to songs on YouTube, to balance her senses.
I love seeing the individuality in my kids.
