This Is How We Do: School Supplies

Waverly starts school on Monday! She's attending Le'Petit Loups and will be in the Moyenne Section. Y'all I don't even know what all of that means.. When we picked up her school supply list and read liste de fournitures at the top, we briefly wondered if our communication had been clear enough: We're just sending her to pre-school, not renting her first apartment.

Lame joke. Sorry.

Although, seeing a full page of items, I legitimately wondered if we were providing supplies for the entire class or just our one kid.

So, this morning, Chandler translated the French list (Thanks, Google Translate!) and we set out in search of school supplies.

I had one particular shop in mind where we had stopped before in search of various items and this shop made all of our school supply shopping dreams come true. 

I handed the list to this guy and he worked his magic...

While Waverly and I played...

I made one decision on our shopping trip: Pencil case for 16,000 Ariary ($8)or pencil case for 2,000 Ariary ($1). The $1 case, please!. And that's what I'm talking about. $50 later and we were out of there!

Then we stopped for a photo-op per the request of our school-age daughter.
