A new school year, a new school

Ben started a new school year today at a new school. He's now Prep in the Ateneo de Manila Grade School, and joins his cousins Daniel and Miguelin the school (although D & M are now in High School). Another cousin, Jovin, is in ADMU.

Of course, since it's his first day in the new school, there are photos...

I went with him to school today, and the plan is to just wait for him in school during these first few days, since they will be dismissed earlier than the regular dismissal time. Next week, he'll just ride to school with Kuya Toti and Jo and the kids and I will just pick him up later. I woke him up at 430am today, which of course, he didn't like. It was a battle through breakfast and bath, but once he was in his school uniform, he was looking forward to going to school. There were a lot of people bringing their kids in today, first day of primary school at AGS. Anyway, we just led him to the cafeteria and he was good to go on his own (well, with the help of the teachers anyway).

He was let out at 930am, and there was a bit of chaos in getting him from his class, but all went well generally. So now begins a new chapter in his life...grade school...here's hoping he'll do well.
