Starting school for any child is a bit scary... but think about a three year old, who doesn't speak the language, and just arrived two weeks prior to the start... no friends, not even an acquaintance. My little girl is brave...
A few days before the start of school we went to explore. I was thankful we could meet her teacher, who speaks a little English and was very kind to Sadie. Her classroom is full of fun toys that any child would enjoy. Kitchen set or "cuisine" in French, baby doll area, painting, puzzles, blocks... it's great!
Of course we had to do a bit of shopping before the big day... she wore her first school outfit from NanNan and her little bookbag was from Grandma! We also had to go and buy little house shoes for her to wear in her classroom... I thought they were really cute! She also needed a little pillow and blanket for their rest time... so I stitched her name in a pillow just her size...
She was excited and ready, with a few butterflies on the inside, I'm sure! She has done great! Yes... it's been a bit rocky, but all things considered, I'm so proud of her!! After a few days, we were walking home talking about her teacher and she stops us and says, "mom, dad... I call her MADAME!!" It was so cute!!
