Theo's Classmates

One advantage of being a child is that it is easier to adjust to the social environment without having to deal with one's own biases and hangups.

After a few days in school, Theo has shown signs of adjusting to the change in pace and milieu. For one, Mommy D said that he has become more attentive to his teachers. We are quite certain that by around this time next year, he would already be quite fluent in Japanese. Unfortunately, that would be almost useless in the Philippines except when he talks to his mother in that language once in a while. And that's the reason why we have to continue his home schooling in English.

In the photo above, you can see him goofing around with 2 of his classmates. Note their very typical Japanese faces. In the photo below, he proudly shows off his new indoor shoes.
