Rose's first day at school

Rose has been ready to go to school ever since we arrived back in the Philippines. We had to make a countdown calendar for her because we could not bear being asked every day "Is it tomorrow I go to school?". At that point she still had 19 days left - how fast that has sped by!
So, it was never going to be a traumatic transition - at least for Rose! When I dropped her off on Tues she immediately put her bag in its space and walked into class with hardly a backward glance - as did the rest of the class I think. I am in two responses - I'm excited for her and I know she's ready but I am sad that our time at home together is finished for this stage. Joshua found it difficult losing his playmate and was very touchy. But I know he and Naomi will play together more because they did when Rose attended KILA.
The funny thing was that after one day they had Weds off because our Kindergarten Class only do 4 days and have Wednesdays off every week! But she is happily off again today with Ros who is taking her each day.
