first day of school in Yerevan


Guess which are my children?

Virtually all the school children in Yerevan wear the same school uniforn--blue bottoms with a white shirt. Although my children are usually very resistant to wearing anything but sweat pants, they immediate agreed to wearing the uniform because it clearly identifies them as students in Yerevan. It makes them feel like they fit in (which is particularly important for my nine-year old).
