Back to School!

Today was Cameron's first day of school. He has been very excited about this day for weeks, so he was ready from the moment we woke him up this morning…he literally jumped up and out of bed!

It was a day of sweet reunions with friends from last year. He hasn't seen most of them since the last day of school in June, so he was very happy to see some of his buddies again!

Cameron's school moved to a new location this year. They now have space at an army complex in Gent. It's a bit daunting and cold when you walk in the complex, but they have made the school space nice and cozy for the kids. One nice perk…it's probably one of the safest schools in the city as you have to walk past a military guard and show a pass to get into the complex!

Harrison really wanted to stay! 

In addition to changing the location of the school, Cameron also has a new teacher. Her name is Miss Inbal, from Israel. 

This year will be a little different for Cameron for a couple reasons. First of all, he is now one of the oldest kids in his class, so that, along with his jump start with English will make him more of a leader than he was last year. There are five returning students and five new students in his class, so hopefully he will be able to help the new ones adjust. Also, he is now going all day which is very exciting for him…highlight of the day for him…eating lunch with his friends! Cameron had a great first day and, although he will have to adjust to no naps in the afternoon, we are all looking forward to a great year!
