August 1st
Monday morning Gordon went to school with his cousin Molly, but unlike his cousins Bella and Iain, he was not nervous at all; he was eager to go to school. He probably didn’t know if he would stand out!
I tried walking with them to school thinking he will be nervous but he was determined to go, and he kept walking with head up ahead of all the kids from Molly’s neighbourhood. Just before we got to the school, at the corner of the school property I had to turn around and walk back home. I gave him a quick hug and kiss but he brushed off the kiss and kept going!
Later at mid morning, Dave, Iain and I went to the school to meet with the head teacher/principal to introduce ourselves. Bella stayed home to do some final packing. We were not surprised to learn that Gordon reported to the principal that he would like to go back one more day since he enjoyed the school.
However, even though he did enjoy himself, he could not go back the next day as I had other plans with him.
We went to the airport shortly after 15:30 to say goodbye to Dave, Bella and Iain.
