Anyways, as I picked them up, Amira's teacher told me that she needs a conference. So I am waiting for her to contact me. Lots of defiance and not listening and she wants to nip it right away, I hope? She couldn't talk much. If anyone can fix my little girl it will be this teacher. Awhh, it was kind of sad because I thought she would be nice at least her first day of school. I confronted Amira about it later and all she said is "I didn't pee in my pants". What she means by that is that "be thankful for that mom and let me have some attitude".
Otherwise both of the kids loved school and are ready to go back tomorrow. Biruk also visited Amira during recess and lunch and played and sat with her.
I made back photo because those backpacks are tiny and they still look large on them.

So cute!
I was a little girl with A LOT of attitude. My parents were always struggling with a way to break my defiance without breaking my spirit! I think you do a great job of finding the balance.

They are so cute Andrea and I like your willingness to support the teacher to nip it right away. It made me a little sad though too. I was a 1st grade teacher and I really can't imagine asking for a conference the first day unless the kid set the classroom on fire or something :).
LOVE it! They are so darned cute! I will pray for you and the teacher as you both find a way to balance her spirit and discipline. ;o) Always a challenge in this house...lol Glad they got to see each other and play. Hope to
This school thing is tough. Nesradine is not liking it at all. We have decided to keep him home for this year. I'll pray for little Amira, and you to make it work.
They both look great!
Oh they just make my heart melt! Lucky teachers to have them in her class!!
I'm glad Amira got the perfect teacher for her; i hope that happens with my girls, too. I'm so glad they like school; they look so darn cute with their little backpacks!
Awww....you gotta love that Ethiopian attitude! Remind me that I said that when Ava starts school, will you?!? I'm glad they like school!!!
Oh my goodness those two are adorable! I'm so glad they like school and I am sure Amira will figure out that her attitude won't be accepted there...doesn't sound like the teacher will let it go..
