How did you like your first day of school?

Good. I stayed there for a little longer because I was there, and I... [apparently, he lost his train of thought for a moment]...

But Mommy took me to the Frankendael [a park nearby his school] to take a picnic. And then we had to go really, really, really far -- because if we go really far then we would see a verstoppen huis [the translation of this phrase would be something like a "hidden house," but the context seems to be referring to a long detour that was required by construction between the school and the park]. But then I came back to school, and it's a little bit different.

Tomorrow, I'm going to take on the overblijf. The overblijf is where you eat lunch at school, but then I go back to my class. Because then, if I go back to my class, after my teacher teaches then I go home. Then school is done.

I got to have a sticker with a poppetje [translation - "puppet" -- explanation - each child is represented by a different symbol that indicates which chair they sit in, which activities they get to do during play time, and so on; last year Elliot's symbol was a turtle, and this year his symbol is a puppet]. It's a new one. I like it. I just like it. I liked making a book. I liked to play outside. I got to do it twice. I got to do it morning twice and afternoon twice. But tomorrow I'm going to go to overblijf.
