So Ian's first day of school finally arrived. Now I know originally I thought I might just keep him home with me until starting at Dulwich with Nick in August, but the guy is just bored. Part of the boredom is the fact that we have had only the toys we crammed in the suitcases for the last few weeks -so things should get better, but he was just too excited to go to school now to not send him. He talks about his days at CNS all the time and everyday at lunch we do the prayer "Dear Lord Jesus, be our guest and with this food let us be blessed. Amen" See I even know it by heart. So he was very anxious to start. Of course the night before we realize that there is no way that our driver can drop off Mark and Nicholas and be back to take Ian, Kyle and I to school so we must walk. It is probably about 1 mile to school (school started at 9am our delivery came at 10am so no stroller yet only baby Bjorn(painful)). Anyway we start walking and about 1/4 of the way there Ian says "Mommy call Mr. Zhong I don't want to walk". I tell him Mr. Zhong is taking Daddy to work now he can't pick us up. It is amazing how quickly these children get spoiled. So the entire rest of the walk was spent begging for Mr. Zhong!
Anyway - he had a great day. The teacher said he fit right in and had a lot of fun. He goes from 9am-3pm everyday and they serve him lunch. He brought home the lunch menu for the month (which keep in mind caters to all nationalities of children) and there are some real delicacies on there. Monday is Pancakes with mushroom whipped sauce, there is potato fritter and apple sauce, potato salad and brats, and cucumber with eggs and mixed veggies. The teacher said he could bring his lunch, but I didn't tell him it was an option. Maybe he will trade in his usual humus and cottage cheese lunch for beef with oyster sauce? You never know what he might do?
