The week went very well and even Rebecca's week was OK. For the past few weeks, she was reluctant to go to Ritterwiesen Kindergarten, got teary a few times, and walked in slow motion into the school and then into her classroom. It was like watching someone walk to the gallows, past all hope, just an expression of resignation on her sad little face. This week, she has perked up and had a bounce in her step during our short walk to school. She has even started using a few German words on her own. Her favorite seems to be lecker, which means yummy.

First Week of School
The first week of school is now history. I don't think I've ever seen children more thrilled to go back to school than our own kids. They were so bored at home with no kids in our neighborhood to play with.
