Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes

Remember me mentioning here that Natalie wasn't happy with her assigned teacher? We tried to change it before school started due to the adjusting to a sub and then her regular teacher all at once. It didn't happen that way. We were told that it could still happen after school started, but I didn't think it would happen as quickly as it did.

Yesterday, ten minutes into the very first day of school the principal came in and switched Natalie into the class she wanted to be in. He didn't even ask her if she still wanted to move. I didn't even find out until I was standing in the gym waiting for her to come down. And here I am looking for a different teacher when all of a sudden I see her standing with this other teacher. I thought maybe they just sent her down with that other teacher, but when I asked Natalie about it she had been moved. I didn't think after finding out her best friend was in her class that she would want to change classes, but she didn't really have a choice in the matter and honestly she doesn't seem too broken up about it. So the picture above is Natalie with her new teacher. He is a funny guy. When I took that picture he messed with Natalie's hair and told her we needed to cover up her freckles. I said there's no covering all those freckles. Look at how tall he is compared to Natalie. I barely was able to get Natalie in the picture without cutting off her teacher's head.

And today Natalie couldn't wait to get to school. What a difference from yesterday. She had her backpack on and was waiting by the door ten minutes before we had to leave. I wonder how long that excitement will last for.
