First Day of School

Elizabeth and Alex had their first day of school and they were really excited. The first day, Liu drove us all to school and we dropped them off. It was a challenge to get their by 8am but we did it.

We first took Elizabeth to her classroom and met her teacher, Mrs. McKeough. She is from Australia and is very nice. Alex was quite upset when we told him that he couldn't go in. He thought he wasn't going to get to go to school.

Next, we took Alex. He basically ran into the room (same as Elizabeth's room last year) and never looked back. His teachers are Miss Kipp and Miss Alforte as Mrs Chiu is repatriating back to the US.

They loved their first day back and both were excited to learn that the next day, they would be riding the school bus. The bus picks them up at the entrance to our apartments at 7:20am. Alex is still a little peeved that it is a small bus. He wants to ride a big bus!

Their first week was challenging for them as they were still jet lagged. They were in bed everynight by 7pm. By Friday, Alex was so worn out, he fell asleep on the bus ride home. He didn't even wake up when I carried him home and put him on the couch.
