First Day of School

It's that time of year again!

The kids are bored at home and super excited to go to school! I am sure it is because they are excited to see all of their old friends again. They have been talking about this day for over a month, practically since we came back from our trip to Texas in June.

Caleb is going into 3rd grade and Abigail is going into 1st grade at Kigali International Community School, KICS.

Caleb and Abigail think it is hysterical that their two teachers just happen to be a couple that met last year at the school and got married this summer. So, now our teachers are Mr and Mrs. Bryan!

Here is Caleb with a few of the buddies he met in school last year. It thrills a mother's heart to see your children making friends.

Abigail did the same as her big brother, that is, ran out of the car without saying good-bye to go off and find familiar friends.

Luke is another story....

During the spring semester he kept asking to go to "his school." The church where we have been attending has a Sunday school class for his age each Sunday morning, so I have been calling that "his school" and he has been happy with that to be a part of something the big kids were doing. I am sure that is totally normal for him to want to do whatever the big kids are doing.

Well, then he started asking to go to "his school" everyday after we dropped off the big kids, but I would explain that "his school" was only on Sunday.

UNTIL NOW..... 

I found out that there is a preschool offered during the week at the church called First Imperssions. Voila! Luke can now go to his own school during the week just like the big kids. I enrolled Luke to go 3 mornings a week and he LOVES it. 

When I ask him what he did that day in class he says: playdough, blocks, slide, and snack. Hey, what a better day for a 3-year old. 

I am so glad that he is enjoying his new school!
