My baby started school today. Literally, my baby. She just had her second birthday two months ago. But, they start them young here in Japan and today was the big day.
I think she was most excited about her new Hello Kitty suitou.
And, the Hello Kitty backpack. We like Kitty-chan around here!
As we got to school, it was all still fun and games. She was thrilled to finally get to “go to school with Mia.”
We put on our indoor shoes.
Then went into her classroom where she had her very own chair with her name on it.
And just when I was about to declare the day a total and complete victory, it was time to go up to the front by herself to get her name tag ceremoniously pinned on her.
That part didn’t go over so well. Let’s just say she’s not so much into other people touching her. Or even looking at her if she’s not in the mood. Plus, I think she’s onto me and realizes that the master plan is that I eventually will LEAVE HER THERE.
Other than our minor little meltdown, she did great. I am supposed to stay with her for the next two weeks to help with the transition, but then she’s on her own in May. Mia has already assured her that she will help her into her classroom every day so I’m sure she’ll be in good hands!
I have two school-age children now. Where in the world does the time go?
