First day of kindergarten, take 2.

Today Emma had her first day of school. She was excited until she got there, and then she was pretty nervous. But I think she had fun. She said her favorite part was having lunch early. (An hour and a half earlier.) She said they did not do the pledge of allegiance, but they went to “Spanish class” where they “learned Japanese.”  Everyone I met raved about her teacher, so it sounds like she got a good one. 

I went to PWOC this morning. I forgot how exhausting it is to be the new person. I don’t know if it is like this for everyone else, but I was drained afterwards. This PWOC is a little different from what I’m used to...not bad, just different. Everyone does the same study and they just break off into smaller groups to discuss, one of which I was assigned to. My group also had a lunch afterwards (lots of eating), since two of the ladies are having babies soon. I was so tired I forgot that I needed to get school supplies for Emma. I remembered after school, of course. So we ate dinner at 3, and hopped on the shuttle. Our last couple days we have been super exhausted (like 3 hour naps plus full night of sleep)  and our last shuttle experience was not good. Emma and I were both beyond tired, and she was crazy and I was frustrated. I didn’t want to take her on the shuttle for a very long time again. However, we needed to go, so we went. It was a much shorter trip and we played “I spy”’while waiting for the bus. (And we brought our jackets!) I never play games on my phone, let alone let Emma, but I had one from when I put one on the iPad. So when we got stuck at the flight line we played a game for a few minutes and then we were home. Much better trip. 

This is Emma after her first day of school in Japan, because I didn’t think to take one before school when she had cute pigtails and bows. 😏
