I remember when I was a kid our wagon train traveled the Oregon Trail attempting to reach a destination to settle. At night we would circle the wagons and make a campfire. At first our wagon took the lead but due to my my diet being mostly beans they moved our wagon to the very last position.
 
A little crazy but meet and greet went well, Jason looks happy although I don't think he really knows all the change that is coming starting tomorrow, tomorrow I also took the day off from work to take him to school in the morning and pick him up at 1:50 p.m.

yeah, first day jitters. Luis, you need a hug more than he does.
if he had a few close friends from previous school, schedule a playdate. it will ease things.

Kev, are you the chunky one?
 
not sure if this gets a hug or hearts 😕 I see both
At this point I'm just grateful that I found someone who was willing to diagnose and fix it. And they were relatively fast.
