Erik's first day of school!


Erik started 1st grade today. In Namibia you start school the year you turn 7, and the schoolyear starts in mid January. All the kids have to wear uniforms, and Opuwo Junior Primary requirs all grey (shirt, pants or shorts, socks, sweater) and black polished shoes. Erik was so proud of his uniform and for finally going to school that he wore the uniform all weekend! We took him to school at 6.45 AM this morning, as school starts at 7.00 AM and last until 1.00 PM every day. The kids were all lined up in their uniforms, and excited to see a new kid on the block!

Hello again!
I hope you don't mind me writing on your blog... I am complete stranger after all...but I find your blog really fabulous! We have our own webspace (in french-dutch-english) which I of course invite you to visit: http://guittinfamily.spaces.live.com

I understand you will be going back to Norway by the end of the year (we've got friends in Heggenes)... isn't that going to be a shock for your boys...
