Layla started riding the bus to school last week! The first day, she got on happily. The next few days were not as good, however. She cried each time when getting on which was so heartbreaking for me to see her ride away on the bus crying! She told me though, that she settled down after a couple of minutes, so hopefully that's true:-). Her bus driver has been so sweet to her and even cleared out the front seat for her when she was crying :-). Each night before bed, she'd complain too that she didn't like riding the bus. She started to love school last week, just didn't like the bus. But now today, she got on fine and says it was fine. So she apparently just takes a little time to adjust to new things. She is loving school and has learned to count to 10 in Mandarin, sing the clean up song and has learned some colors and words like "hi", "bye" and other things. Maybe she has learned more than that, but that is all we've really heard from her so far. We are very glad to be doing the immersion program as we can already see how easy it is for a 5 year old to pick up another language. I can't even repeat back to her things she says to me:-).
First day riding the bus...
