First Day at Armonia



The boys were excited to start school this morning. It was pretty amazing to see them so eager. They are brave!

Xander was all smiles and full of nervous, excited energy. He has missed his friends tremendously and has been so patient hanging out with us. He is ready to be with other kids! When we arrived Xander was swept away in a wave of children and was quickly absorbed into the mass of students. His classmates escorted him to the 6th form classroom where they had a big welcome sign waiting for him.

Jordy was quiet, shy, and hiding in his hoody. At home he was very outspoken about his eagerness to start, but when we arrived at school he was hesitant and unsure although happy inside. The kids were excited to have him in their class. They told him he could be their English teacher! His soccer teammate, Tobias, is in his class so the kids decided they should sit together. Some of the kids were concerned that Tobias talks too much, but that may be good for Jordy! He will learn Spanish that much faster!

Xander's day started with PE at a nearby sports club and Jordy's day began with the flag salute (video) and then music.

Andrew and I waited at school for awhile to be sure all was well. A half an hour into the day, the secretary assured us that Jordy was very happy.
