First Day Of School

I looked at my two boys, proud as punch, dressed in their new khaki's and button downs, posing for a quick photo before they went on the school bus. It is their first day of school, in a new country and in a new culture. The excitement was high all weekend, with their new pencils and binders, oh and a protractor, what ever you use that for!, the anticipation of new teachers, friends and adventures. The call came in around 8.30am to say that the youngest had threw up over a few people in front of him, he was fine, could we bring him a change of clothes. They also remarked that he might have to sit in the front seat for a couple of weeks, as none of the older kids were willing to take the chance! If that was ok with us, he could take the bus tomorrow.............. Nothing worse than starting your day with some other kids Honey Puffs regurgitated in your new haircut, I guess.
