August 7 was the kids' first day at school. At 5:45am, Eddy was all changed and wanted to get going. I had no idea when they woke up that day. From Eddy's dark eyebags, I figured they probably got up at 5:30am. At 6:15am, the kids put on their schoolbags, although the school bus wouldn't come until 7:05am. They were really excited about going to school, particularly after visiting the campus the day before.
Although the school is 100 yards away, it took the schoolbus 15 minutes to arrive. Ted and I walked over and waited them at the gate. Eddy was surprised that how we could arrived ahead of the bus. He didn't seem to remember how to get to his classroom, so we walked him over. Elizabeth took off immediately.
Later that day, Elizabeth sent me an email, claiming that she had lots of fun at school. Apparently, her classroom is equipped with the ONLY comfy couch in the entire school. Her teacher, Mr. Kerr, is a very popular teacher. He brings cookies for kids every Friday. Eddy told me the day was too long and he wanted to sleep. If I get up at 5:30am, I would want a nap at 2pm, too.
The kids would have several special classes. Elizabeth has art, PE, music, library research, Bahasa Indonesia and computer. Eddy has the same special classes except Bahasa. But he will start Bahasa next school year as a First Grader. Go, kids, go!
