face paint is a beautiful dolphin courtesy of his classmate Sophia's mom.Jordan is showing signs of stress from the moving, poor guy. On the surface he's enthusiastic about moving day. But he's a bit of a pill at home, and at school he keeps talking excitedly about his friend Theo - how he is so excited to move in with him, share a room, see him all the time, stuff like that. At face value, this doesn't make sense -- we're not moving in with Theo, and in fact haven't been seeing a lot of him lately. But when we moved here from Maryland, Theo's presence here was an important point of stability for Jordan. I think moving might mean "everything changes but Theo." I feel bad for him that the prospect of a giant change has him mustering all his coping mechanisms. Hopefully he'll recognize soon that this move is a lot easier than the last one.
