I've been accused of slacking off on the blog since school started. What's up with that? I have all this free time now, right? Well, the reality is more like I spend all day running around like a headless chicken taking this one here and the other one there...at least I get a lot of exercise! Anyway, Eli's first day of preschool was the day after Brian's first day of kindergarten. Brian wanted to get in the pictures too and really this one turned out the best; how cute are they?
Here's Eli by himself, wearing the same too-big backpack that Brian took to 3-year old preschool, haha!
We walked Brian over to B.F. Day, then ran back across the bridge, grabbed a stroller from the car that was parked conveniently on the way, then jogged the 3 blocks to Cometa playschool.
That's right! Just 3 blocks away is an adorable little Spanish immersion preschool! How lucky is that?!? If anything could sell me on staying in Seattle and dealing with the traffic issues, parking issues, high rent, and 6 months of rain, it's being able to walk a few blocks to BOTH kids' schools, a martial arts center where we just started classes, awesome restaurants, playgrounds... it's pretty cool. So back to Eli... here he is, not looking at the camera in front of his school.
"Cheese!"
Inside he was playing with a little setup of foods and a checkout register. He seems to like it pretty well, although he clings to my leg a little every day when I drop him off.
And I doubted whether he was learning much there, but today I was doing a math lesson with Brian and he came over and joined us, counting in Spanish! So maybe he will pick up some Spanish this year!
As a bonus, here is a video of Eli riding his Strider. He has gotten so good at it in the last 2 months, it's amazing. He rides it everywhere we go now! (The video starts out right side up, then flips, I don't know why, if you know how to fix it, please let me know.)
