Tristan went to a Christmas party at his school! I think the picture says it all– he enjoyed seeing Santa. I am grateful that his school does fun social events and takes pictures for us.

Bored with English!
Tristan loves to watch YouTube on his tablet. It is always the same genre of videos. Videos with songs on Abc’s, colors, shapes, and counting!

I love the fancy clothes he is in! I am glad he got to experience this event at his residential school with his peers. Just wanted to share.
