Today is a very big day for our family. ❤️
Orlando had the choice of starting at a bilingual school, but he made the brave decision to go to a Romanian school instead.
The thing is… he doesn’t speak Romanian yet.
And somehow, he is completely calm and confident about it. While I’m over here feeling nervous enough for both of us! 😂
I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how proud I am of him. Starting over in a new country is already a huge change, but choosing to step into a completely new language and trust yourself enough to do it… that takes real courage.
I’m also going to miss him terribly around our little place. He’s not only such a wonderful big brother to Noah, but also such a great help to us and amazing company. Our days just won’t feel quite the same without him here.
Today, I’m watching my boy take a huge step towards becoming even more independent, resilient and confident.
Go shine, Orlando. ❤️ We’re all behind you.
