Ganbatte Means Good Luck*

*And do your best!

First day of school!
It's an easy 10-minute walk to Patrick's kindergarten, and the route is festooned with children in these little smocks, all on their way to school.

A quick hug at the gate...

...and off he goes. Just like that.
Ganbatte, Patrick! Do your best!
Smiles at the end of the day!

    What is with the smock? Do they get messy? Can you pick out a diff one for each day? So glad he was smiling at the end of his first day!

      All the children wear these little handmade smocks and it's fun to spot them on their way to school...classmates! We received two...one to wear and one to wash!
