Today is a special day, particular for Emily and Sophie, as today they start school. It is going to be very exciting for them both as they will be 2 little English girls amongst a class of French children. Everyone has told us that they will learn French just like that, I think Emily knows a lot more than she thinks she does (as she is constantly teaching me).
The start of the day was fairly easy, I awoke before the alarm and the girls got up straight away as then were very excited. They got dressed, had breakfast and got ready to go. We all piled into the car and took them to Emily's school. There were lots of children and parents there and we had a chat with the headmaster (who wants me to help test 28 secondhand computers that the school has just received). I went back to the car as Sophie and Poppy were still in the car.
A few minutes later, Sarah and Emily came back to the car. Apparently Emily and Sophie do not start until the afternoon as only the older children start in the morning. I couldn't believe after all the military operations to make sure they get to school on time at 8:30am, they don't actually have to start until 1:30pm! A big disappointment for the girls, but at least Emily gets to go to the shops to spend her tooth mouse/fairy money!
The girls finally went to school at 1:30. We took Sophie into her classroom which was full of lots of small French children. Sarah spoke to the teacher who explained some stuff to us...I just smiled and nodded as I hadn't a clue what she was saying. We then left Sophie sitting with some girls at a table who were drawing.
At 4:45 Sophie and Emily came home from their first day at school. The were both really happy and had big smiles. Emily said she wanted to go to school forever, so I think its safe to say she did really enjoy it. Apparently in the car on the way home, they were all asking their angels to make sure I get a job so they can stay at this school, so no pressure on me :)
