First Day of School

The day FINALLY came!

The world's most excited new school girl lives in the Baby Home!

I snapped a few pictures as she left with two tias, in the rain:

Don't let the funny faces fool you!

S just has this thing - when you get out a camera and say "smile", she can't quite remember how to do it. :)

Third time's the charm!

My favorite 5 year old girl in the whole world!!!

2/3/10 update: On this first day, S left her brother A behind in a puddle of tears. I spent some time comforting him, and also pointing out that he is 4 and needs to be 5 to go to kindergarten. The next day, some friends of mine asked him how old he was. As he gave me a sideways glance to see if I would notice, he blurted right out "5!!" Nice try...

Yesterday (Tuesday) someone asked S how school was. She said it was fine, but the teacher only spoke to her once, to say "Chau". We wonder if she realizes that all the teacher says up front is directed to her?! :)
