1st day of Korean school

Today was your first day at Korean school. Daddy and I have been meaning to put you in for a while because we've noticed that you don't understand a word your grandparents say anymore. You do Skype Monday-Friday with your Vancouver grandparents and there are times where you and your Vancouver grandfather are staring at each other without saying a word. He's not very good at English and you don't know what he is saying in Korean. It doesn't help that when your Vancouver grandpa is speaking English to you his accent is so thick that he might as well be speaking Korean…

My friend, YJ, had put her son Asher in Korean school last semester so I wanted to make sure I enrolled you when she did again. Asher is really good in Korean because YJ's first language is Korean. 

The class starts at 10am and ends at 2:30pm every Saturday. I wanted to make sure Asher was in your class because you are already antisocial as it is when you are put in a surrounding that you are uncomfortable with. I had to talk to you a few days leading up to this day to make sure you knew where you were going. Otherwise you would likely freak out.  Even though we had the talk you still were clingy to me and when your teacher tried to get you to sit with your other classmates during orientation you almost threw a tantrum. I had to go sit with you to calm you down. I was not impressed. Thankfully, your teacher was so nice and she was able to take you to your class no problem. Phew!

The Korean school takes place at a church. They have different programs that they offer-
Korean school, English school, calligraphy, guitar, drawing, etc.

The place was really nice. I know it looks empty here, but it was packed. I was surprised that
most people were Korean speaking.

Look at unhappy you look :-S

When I went to pick you up I was surprised how happy you were. Apparently you played well
and ate spaghetti! Here you are with the Choi boys- Asher and Austin. You guys look like a bunch
of thugs here…
