Tricia-Elementary School

Tricia started 6th grade this week. She has a sweet teacher, Mrs Geiber who Krysta also had in 6th grade. For the last few years she has shared an aide with another girl who is a year older. The other girl loved having the aide handy and independent little Tricia didn't, I mean really didn't. This year with budget cuts and Savannah off to jr high, the school thought they'd try Tricia aide-less. It makes me worry a bit more but Tricia is happy about it.
She has started caring about how she looks and likes to decide on her hair-style and clothes for the day and finds accessories and hair do-dads to match. Her biggest disapointment was that her closest friend Diana is not in her class this year. Well maybe the biggest disappointment is that her grade isn't in the new addition of the school because it is so "clean and new and has cool lockers, just like high school".
