Last Day of School

Friday was the girls last day of school (15 April) and they had a half day. At the end of the morning the school had a end of term assembly in which they also said good-bye to all the students that were leaving.  I was surprised that there were quite a few kids leaving at the end of term.  It was sweet to see how they said bye to each child.  Sofia had been fine with leaving, at least on the surface, but I saw a moment where she waivered and fought with her emotions after she had been called up and given her good-bye.  She sat back down and kept her head down looking at her leaving book.  I thought she was going to lose it and break out in tears but she managed to pull it together and her friend Matilda was perfect with a jovial grab of the arm and a quick comment and Sofia was back to being happy.  I am definitely grateful that Sofia has some good friends.

Rather than go home and spend time sad that we were leaving Prague we decided to head to Beckiland for one last time with a bunch of friends.  It was great for the kids to run around and have fun and it was nice for me to have another time to chat with my friends.
