Well, Alex went back to school on Sunday...
We're still not sure why... after everyone had made such a big deal over the schools being closed; and of course, in Africa, no one had called or emailed us to let us know that school would be back in session... a bus just showed up downstairs very early on Sunday morning!! There was a wild frenzy around here for about five minutes while Franklin ran down to ask them to wait in his best Arabic... while I tried digging out Alex's uniform and books to go with him. Thankfully, Alex had already gotten up because waking him up in the mornings is a challenge and he can be a grumpy, little bear about the whole thing :o) The chaos definitely resembled feeding time at the zoo... CRAZY!!
Alex loves school so he is very excited to be back this week. He had missed his friends and teachers very much... apparently, I'm not that exciting to spend all day with anymore :o) So, as far as we know, he's going back on a "normal" schedule; which I have decided doesn't exist around here... EVER!!
