First day of school: SY 2010 - 2011

It was Griffin's first day of school yesterday as a Prep student. They had an open house so we were at his classroom till around 12:30 pm. He now brings a large trolley bag. It is quite heavy but at least it has wheels so he just has to pull it. Unlike last school year, when they had to carry their bags on their shoulders. When we arrived the school's vicinity, there were grade 1 students going home since they had half day classes today. Griffin said, with his hands together, " Please, I don't want to be in Grade 1." I asked him why and he said, "I can't wake up early.". That is truly a problem, because I can't even make him get up at 9 am what more if he has to get up at 6 am. I'll
just have to figure a way next year. Maybe homeschooling could be an option. No more travel time to school. As for this year, I am really glad that Griffin can understand and speak Filipino already. He's not that good but at least he's losing the accent when he speaks Filipino. When we picked him up he said he had so much fun running and playing in the playground.
