Well the day has finally arrived. Today was Frida’s first day of school (1st grade, Kindergarten is not considered school here). Parents were asked to come for the first 2 hours. Frida was fine and actually knows two girls from her ballet class so she wasn’t the total outsider. The main teacher spoke in Swiss German so I had some trouble understanding. Luckily Frida had no problems.
We followed the German tradition of giving a SchuleTute. It is basically a big cone stuffed with small toys and candy. The tradition is to give it to the kids in the morning and the kids bring the cone to school. However this is a German tradition and not a Swiss one so we decided to give it to Frida after school.
I can’t believe she’s already at this point.

Pretty cool. Lydia and Gabrielle just started too. First day at the big-kid school for Gabrielle, which would be pre-pre-k, not 1st grade.
I don’t know what you guys are talking about. It will be years and years before my babies grow up… I love Frida’s pose. She looks like she’s about to climb a mountain…with a big pink cone.
