Ryn started her 1st day of school here in France. We were concerned with the language barrier. She does great already(knows all her shapes,colors, letters and can count to 20 she can sing a bunch of songs as well in french) but for day to day conversation not so great. (Our slacker fault)
It's exciting but also a reminder of how fast they grow up and the hardest thing of all is of course the fact that our precious kids go from a constant environment of nurturing love and care to a place where they,( no matter how great the teachers are) will never have that same love and attention that they get in the home.
She was a little scared but she did awesome and even told the teacher," Je dois faire peepee" which I am sure you figured out means I have to go to the bathroom. Although when Kit went to pick her up she ran to her and said,"Mommy, you came back!"
We feel that this is a great opportunity for her to really grasp the language, so we will see how it goes. It is hard though, we both wanted to cry when we left. But we see now that this is also important for Elle to have some Mommy and Daddy time all to herself and she has been loving it.

I feel exactly the same. I cried every day for the first week Taylor went to school. It is hard to see such sweet little spirits go off on their own so young. I just want to scream, "I'm not done yet!" Then I remember, I've still got a little more time.
