Annick comeca a escola / Annick start school

flip — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:11:46 +0000

Finalmente chegou o dia. Annick comecou na escola, indo sozinha…

It’s finally here. Annick started her new school, going all by herself…

Na quarta feira, que foi o primeiro dia, os pais podiam ir junto, entao foi mais tranquilo, ela adorou, brincou, etc. (explicacoes nas fotos, passe o mouse por cima que aparece)

Wednesday, first day, parents could come too, so she was a bit more relaxed and it was fun. (captions on the pics, just mouse over it and they will appear)

Hoje, panico total. Algum dia isso ai acontecer mesmo, entao agora tem que aguentar e nao deixar ela perceber o medo que eu estava hoje quando eu deixei ela la. Choradeira total, abracos, lagrimas, etc. Mas no final, ela foi, aos prantos, mas foi.

Today, panic set in. It had to happen some day, so now it’s just a matter of enduring it, not allowing her to realize how scared I was when I dropped her off and roll with it. It was a mess of crying, hugging, tears, etc. But, in the end, she went, crying, but she went.

Esse video tem a maior parte do primeiro dia, ela brincando e tal. No final, tem o resultado do primeiro dia sozinha. Nao estragarei a surpresa sobre o que ela achou da escola…

This video is mostly of the first day, with her playing and all. In the end, there’s the result of the first day all by herself. I won’t ruin the surprise of what she thinks of the new school…

Annick e eu fomos ao Pao de Acucar hoje. Ela adorou, apesar de termos parado no Morro da Urca mesmo. Fiz tambem uma panoramica maneira la de cima.

Annick and I went to Pao de Acucar (aka Sugarloaf) today. She loved it, although we didn’t go all the way to the top, stopping at the first stop at Morro da Urca. I also did a panoramic.

Depois de quase 1 mes no Rio com os avos, Annick foi me buscar no aeroporto hoje. Registro videografico na sequencia.

After almost 1 month in Rio with her grandparents, Annick picked me up at the airport today. Couldn’t resist recording it.
