My tiny boy is no longer tiny. I have a pre-teen who is now going into grade seven. He needs to bus, which is a change, and the school day starts earlier, so we've adjusted our morning routine back an hour from last year, another change. I gave him the option of wearing a mask this morning because I want him to have a sense of bodily autonomy.

He declined.

I did tell him that there are masks in his backpack if he changes his mind. I can only do so much and insisting that he wears one doesn't benefit either of us.

GRADE SEVEN??
Omg I’m low key freaking out at how time seems to be compressing these days.
I hope he had a good day at his new school!

It seems to be going okay. But, early days at a new school mean that most of the kids are cowed by the bombardment of change. He just complained that he would like to be learning now, instead of going here, filling out forms, going there, more admin stuff.

It's only been two days, my dude. Chill.
