First week of school

I think this week has been the most emotional week so far. We were so nervous all three! Em was starting second grade in a new school, but that wasn't it. She had to do so in another country and language. 

So far we love her school. Everyone has been fantastic! Her teachers are great! They are very caring and understanding. They are gentle and very patient with her, and us too. They make sure we are on board and knows whats going on at all times. I definitely feel as we made the right choice in school. And there is Oscar. Oscar is a boy in her class that moved to Sweden when he was four. His dad is Swedish and Oscar speaks both swedish and english fluently! So he has been appointed Emma's translator. Makes sense, the boy speaks well and so much, he speaks for two! 

Emma has made some new friends as well. Right now she is looking forward to see Vera everyday. Vera seems to be Emma's opposite. She is very calm and shy, but maybe thats only when we are around.... Today they got to walk to school together and they were totally in a world of their own. 

We also got to meet Vera's dad, and he, as well as all the other parents we have met so far are all so very nice. What a great relief! 

Today will be another big day as Em is staying at fritids (VIK) after school for the first time. We are taking it slow, so only one hour today. We'll find see how that goes.....
