"School"

Today was Yonas' first day of "school". Now, we all know that an almost two year old doesn't really go to "school", but that is what I call daycare to make myself feel a little better. This semester I am teaching a Practicum class so I have to go out in schools and watch my teachers teach. It is fabulous, but it means that Yonas has to go to his own "school" once a week, for the first time ever. Ever since we came home from Ethiopia, I have taught in the evenings and stayed home with Yonas during the day. Of course, I was more upset about Yoni going to "school" than he was and he LOVED it. When I picked him up, all he kept saying was french toast and nap. No wonder he loves school!
Ready for his first day of "school". Doesn't he look soooooooooooo old?

It is so heart rending when they "grow up," isn't it? Half of me is excited to see my kids take on new things and the other half wants them to stay babies!

Just wait Mary....during the summer when I'm home all the time, mine cry because they want to go to Jennifer's. I guess I am just too boring! He looks cute!

as difficult as it is for parents (and made even more difficult when the kids WANT to go), i love the fact that they get to hang out with other kids and sort through all that "being kids" stuff...the goods, the bads, etc. interacting with others his age is just great for him!
