Sept. 2 was Atticus' first day back to school here in Dhaka. He will continue for another half the year here at the bilinual French international school and then we'll head back to the US in December where he'll go for the rest of the year. This year was certainly a different story than last year (recall we showed up an hour late due to our confusion over the time changes) and things went much better. Atticus was also not a new kid, so he got to see his old friends and since he even has the same two teachers this year (they teach both 1st and 2nd grade) it was pretty easy as far as back-to-school goes. There is a new principal this year and he seems very nice- although he was also nervous on the first day. This year it seems like the school is even smaller in enrollment than last year; he has 8 kids officially in his class, but only 5 were there on the first day. This is the small classroom attention that he loves about the school, and it will probably be quite a shock when he gets thrown into an American public school classroom with about 750 kids in the classroom!
So, not a lot to report but the day went great. Atticus had fun, we went for pizza and ice cream afterwards (where we all had fun) and things are moving right along in the daily grind here.
