I do believe the cost of living is higher, but I have decided it is worth it for the wonderful school & the beautiful surroundings. There is something to be said about a planned community.
The boys seem to have adjusted. Even though DJ has said he never wants to move again, I think he is just feeling overwhelmed like the rest of us. He has said that this school seems a little tougher academically & that the kids are a little more competitive. He said that most of his classmates get A’s & B’s. I think he is up for the challenge. He did his testing last week, somewhat like IQ, and we will get the results in a few months. It will deteremine if he is going to get into any of the gifted classes. I am hopeful for him. I know he does so much better when he is kept challenged.
He was given an assignment where he had to choose a famous american & write five important facts that he will have to recite to his class. He will also have to dress in character. He has chosen Martin Luther King Jr. I was able to find him a shirt & tie. He will also carry a bible in with him. He looks so grown in his shirt & tie. His dad took his picture. I think he is ready!
