English kids react to my American child 😆
I thought that putting my very American little girl in school as soon as we moved to the UK would be a bad idea… she’d be starting right at the end of their school year, she would be the strange foreigner, her school year would be 2 months longer since she already finished school in the US… the list goes on!
I wanted the summer to get her settled in and rested ready for the new school year.
She had other ideas….
She said she had to go to school to make friends before the summer vacation, and she was SO excited to wear a uniform 😂 So I sent her for a trial day, just to meet everyone and see how she felt. She LOVED it. She thinks UK schools are ‘the best’. Lol. So she started officially that same week. It turns out that she isn’t considered strange, but ‘exotic’, and has more friends than she can remember names right now.
Every other day there’s a new playdate invite, and it seems a lot of kids here have summer parties? Not birthday parties, just random parties. She’s been invited to about 7 different ones so far. They are mostly ‘garden parties’ but one girl is having a horse riding party seemingly for no reason….
I’m wondering if I need to throw one for her so she isn’t the odd one out.
She came home saying her friends want to see photos of Florida and don’t believe we have alligators there 😂
Half the kids seem to think she lived at Disney and have asked ME at the school gates why we would move from there 😂
She thinks it’s amazing, but I’m waiting for her to come home fed up with all the attention.
