First day of school!!

On Monday, Cloe and Brody went with me to their school to check it out and I had to go get all the information. They met the nuns (suora) saw their classes and played on the playground which they loved. Oh and they got their uniforms! So ugly but they all are. With Italy being such a fashion capitol you'd think Dolce and Gabbana could style something up for us. But the list of items to bring was a little different. For the first day of school, they needed, 2 rolls of paper towels, 2 bottles of soap, a package of tissue and a toothbrush and toothpaste. oh, and a plastic cup. alright. And it was great to have the nuns explaining things to me in full Italian sentences. All I could do was nod like I understood. Not only is it hard to not understand everything they say but I also have no experience with the school system so I don't know how things are normally ran. I'll figure it out soon :)
Ryan's parents got here on the 12th so his mom came with us to drop them off. We caught the city bus at 8:05 and took em' to school. I just kind of searched for kids in their same uniform because the different ages wear different uniforms. They were on the playground and they had no problem with us leaving them. we gave kisses and Ryan's mom got a little weepy. I wasn't a very good mom because I didn't cry. We picked them up at 12:30 and they seemed to have had a good time and I also liked the morning with less kids. sad but true. I don't think they did much but play, so when school really starts with their teacher (who isn't a nun) we'll see how they do.
