Local School

We've decided to give the local school a try this year to help our kids learn the language.  If you know much about our family, you'll know that when we sent Zeke to preschool, it was a very difficult year.  He cried pretty much every day when we dropped him off.  So, I'm not necessarily relishing the thought of this coming school year.  But, we think our children being comfortable in the culture we are in is important, and language is vital for that.  So, I've just been praying, praying, praying for great teachers, for nice kids who will befriend the "weird kids" who can't speak to anybody, and just in general for wisdom to handle the situations that are sure to arise.

School starts on Monday.  Both kids are enrolled in an afternoon program that starts at 12:30 (we think) and ends sometime.  Ha.  We better get that nailed down.  However, we were told that Zeke should come at 9:00 AM the first day, and then the teacher would tell us when he'll come the rest of the week.  Kaiyah, they said, won't actually start until Wednesday, because they are still painting the preschool section, and it seems she'll come at 11:30 that day instead of 12:30?  It should be an interesting year.  Both kids seem to be excited.  Zeke exclaimed recently, "I'm glad I'm going to school soon.  Maybe I won't be so bored."  And Kaiyah has been bouncing off the walls the last few weeks asking when she gets to go to school, and even more so the last few days since we purchased new princess shoes for her to wear at school!
