Yesterday was the end of term at the world's most perfect teenager's school. His school has one week longer winter break than most other schools in Sweden. Instead they have one week less summer break.
The reason for our traditional long summer break is that when we were a farming community, people took their children out of school to help with the harvest. In order for the children not to miss their education, it was decided that there would be a 10-week long summer break.
A 9-weeks summer break is more than enough for Junior, he even misses his friends and school at the end of the summer. After the end of term ceremony I just got a quick hug before he disappeared with his friends to celebrate the start of winter break.
It feels so weird watching my baby disappear out the door with all these teenagers. He was allowed to stay out with his friends until 7 p.m., but the cold meant that everyone went home earlier and met up in the digital world instead.
