The kids had their first day of school in Costa Rica and all went really great. Rachel's new friend Gabbi was at the gate waiting for us when we got there, so that made Rachel forget about us pretty quick, and Nathan was whisked off to his class as well. He had met another kid that can speak English named Wyatt when we came to register them a few days ago, and so he felt a whole lot better about school as well.
We picked them up at the end of the day and they both said that they liked thier first day. They didn't understand all of the Spanish instructions, but it didn't seem to phase them much.
I know this is going to come off as the Proud Papa talking, but I have been very impressed with my kids this week (except for the odd fight here and there - guess that's to be expected when we all live together in a one-roomed cabin.) They have been completely willing to try any of the new foods we have been tossing at them, have not complained too much about being dragged around to lawyers office, viewing of houses to rent etc. They handled the flight delays and long, boring periods waiting in airports with less complaining than their Mom and Dad. They have had their moments, but all in all, they have been great.
