First Day of School



Erica is now in Grade 5 and Ethan is in Grade 9.  This was taken on the first day of school.  Erica had PE that day.



Off they go.



Meanwhile Clara had a short appointment at her school to meet her new teacher, before officially starting school later in the week.  This is the outfit she picked.  To put this in context, a lot of Chinese children are dressed beautifully for everyday outings.  It is not at all uncommon to see children dressed in what would be considered a 'Church outfit' in our house.  I regularly see children in Shanghai who are dressed in gorgeous dresses with beautiful hair accessories.  Meeting the teacher is no different - plenty of girls in fancy dresses and boys wearing collared shirts and a bowtie.  Some wore their uniform (the choice I would have gone for had Clara not had such a definite outfit idea).  Clara certainly stood out in her Wonder Woman costume, but didn't seem to care at all.
