Jens Gets Left Behind

A big part of Jens' life is trying to keep up with her Brothers. I think she vaguely understands that she is different but she doesn't get what that means.
 She fits right in with some of the fun things, like cruising in the helicopter with Grandpa.

  She keeps right up with Ryker when doing fun things like roasting marshmallows. 

 She loves her pretty dresses, like this Christmas dress, but sometimes gets a little bashful.
 A big problem appeared with Ryker's first day of school. He was super stoked and excited to start pre-school.
 Jens didn't understand why there wasn't a name tag and a teacher waiting for her excitedly.
 She kept waiting anxiously to meet her teacher...but she doesn't have a teacher.
 Ryker was....typical Ryker.
 We survived the first day, but then came the first bus ride. Ryker was clearly excited for his first official bus ride to his school.
 I kept asking DeA if we should take Jens inside before the bus came, but that didn't happen.
 It did not go over well when we had to grab her before she climbed on the bus. Did not go over well at all.
 She did not handle things well and threw a pretty professional tantrum. 
 DeA tried to smooth things over by inviting Jens to go on a run. Jens agreed but insisted that she wear her 'running shirt'.
