first day of school / primeiro dia de aula







Today was the first day of school and for Andrew it was the first day in the elementary school. We started our day trying to choose a nice outfit to wear, really, mom and boys have a very different concept of " nice ". Finally we found something we both agreed. Andrew was so excited that I tried to hide my anxiety to not ruin his day. Finally the time came, we took him to the bus stop, my heart was feeling like I was the one going to school for the very first time. He did awesome. After I drop him, I was wondering: is he going to miss me, is he going to be OK? as you all know, he did just fine, he loved it. He said his favorite part was lunch, they had cheese pizza and he said: mom, you're right, school is a great place. As for Amon, he is not back yet, so I will let you know when he gets home...

Hoje foi o primeiro dia de aula e para o ANdrew foi o primeiro dia em uma escola grande. Nos comecamos nosso dia tentando achar uma roupa legal para usar, mas com certeza, mae e filhos tem uma concepcao muito diferente do que e " legal", finalmente achamos uma coisa que concordamos. Andrew estava tao animado que eu tentei esconder minha ansiedade para nao acabar com o dia dele. Finalmente o horario chegou, nos levamos ele para pegar o onibus escolar, meu coracao estava sentindo como se fosse o meu primeiro dia de escola. Ele foi otimo. Depois que o deixamos, eu fiquei pensando: sera que ele vai sentir falta de mim? sera que ele vai ficar bem? como voces todos sabem, ele ficou otimo, ele adorou escola. Ele disse que a parte favorita dele foi o almoco, eles tiveram pizza de queijo. Ele disse:mae, voce estava certa, a escola e um otimo lugar. Agora, Amon nao esta de volta ainda, eu vou te deixar saber quando ele chegar...

Wow, is it really time for school to start again? Summer flew by so fast! How fun that you got those pictures with the bus. Things are going great here. 7 girls in YW? That's so great! I'm glad you have a new counselor--I wish I could have met her! My calling now is assistant choir director. So different than my last calling! I miss YW!
