Isa´s first day of school - 21 August






I know this question is redundant.. why do they grow up????
Isa had her school start ceremony on Tuesday - big deal over here with their "Schultüte" (the big pink thing, preferrably home made) and their "Schulranzen" the special school bag on their back and a mass (non-denominational),
a show by the older kids and whatsnot..
the boy in the green t-shirt was her 3rd grade "buddy".. all the kids got assigned one to take them to their room and help them the first days - great idea!
The taller ones are all 3rd graders, most of them her height.. lol.
It´s really strange - she´s the youngest kid in school and among the tallest 1st Graders! Weird combination.. lol.. but she would not be our child if weird wasn´t involved, right?

FYI, I DIDN'T cry the whole time.. grin.. good thing I was too busy chasing Juju - although Rafael was chasing him most of the time..

So far, I really like her teacher, she seems extra nice, plays guitar and seems quite motivated - wohoo! She really needs that in a school with over 30 nations present and 80 % non-germans.. what a mix!

Hmm.. someone was being a butt.. lol..
Juju raiding his own little Schultüte - a "Geschwistertüte", a smaller version for the younger siblings.. hmm. caaaandy!
While Isa had her first hour of school, Juju was mingling with the big kids, trying to make it down the big rope without busting his behind :-D

Okay, who said our babies could grow up so fast and start 1st grade this year? I swear I am not ready for it, especially after seeing Isa on her first day. You might not have cried, but I was darn close! Isa is a beautiful girl and is going to do great in first grade! (Sean is the youngest in his grade as well.)
