While Aleena was very excited about starting at ISB this month it was a bit sad that she was not longer going to school with her best friend McKayla. I never really understood how three year olds could be so close to each other, but those two girls were two peas in a pod. They were in a race at Magic Years last year, and they actually held hands and walked with each other instead of running.
ISB's cutoff date for children's birth is 9/1. Aleena just barely sneaked in under the wire (August 21), while McKayla missed the date by a few months (November birthday). Interestingly, Nalin's birthday is September 8th. Fortunately Nalin had already completed Kindergarten in Ohio where the cutoff was the end of September. Since she had already completed Kindergarten, ISB let her start first grade despite missing the September first deadline.
Apparently McKayla is taking the separation pretty hard. Tim said that McKayla has been crying at school because she misses Aleena, and that she is writing ten cards a day to Aleena. They do get together for play dates though.
