Liam is off to school!!

This week was Liam's first week of school. He started on Wednesday and the whole family came to send him off! He was a bit nervous but quickly adapted to the classroom. His comment about French? "French is easy!" and indeed he quickly repeated the word of Madame Lisa : "Frapper les mains, tapper les pieds..." "Tete, epaules, genouz, orteilles..." I think he's going to be OK. :)

And this Saturday morning he actually cried when I told him there was no school on Saturdays.

So I sent him off to the library with his new red backpack.

Of course we had a Schultüte for him filled with wonderful school supplies Oma and Opa brought from Germany: a pencil case (Federmäppchen), water colours, a pencil sharpener and of course candy and chocolate.

I cleared off my grandfather's desk for him and he is very proud to have his own space for his precious pencils and notebooks - out of the reach of his little sister!

I think he grew about 5 cm this week.
