Emily has been back in school for just over a month and it has been going well, all things considered. One source of excitement (at least for me) is that we already have her annual school photo! I was surprised by her photo this year because she has so clearly matured. I can really see the transition between child and teenager happening.

Middle school is always a challenge, but she seems to be adapting. From an academic perspective, she is doing well in her classes and keeps herself very organized. I never need to worry about her getting her homework completed and turned in. From a friend perspective, she has a few girls that she has been hanging around with. It sounds like there tends to be a fair bit of drama among the girls and the friendships are sort of always in flux. That said, she has gone to a couple of parties and football games, so that has been good.

There has also started to be some relationship drama in that the kids are asking each other out and "dating" (which doesn't actually involve going anywhere together). There is a boy in Emily's math class that seems like he has been trying to get her attention lately. One day, he showed her the doodle that he had done. She didn't say anything, but she told me that it wasn't very good. Another day, he just marched up to her and counted to seven in Latin - LOL. Clearly, this kid needs to get some better material. Anyway, she isn't quite sure what to make of him. Hopefully his intentions will become clearer over time.
