Jalen Begins School

Today was Jalen's first day of school. This morning we took the classic photo of him with his backpack on infront of the house and we were off. We drove our 100 cc motorbike to his school and met all of the other children. They were all standing in line to go into their classroom with their lunches and it looked so cute. All of a sudden out of the blue one of the children just started crying and crying. I told Janna after Jalen was gone that the experience was more emotional for me than for him. We are getting old, we now have a child in school. WOW!

Jalen is now at home from his first day of school and he is excited. He got to feed the pet guinea pig and he is pumped!! It is great to see him so excited about school. I know with my experience that stays with students right until grade 10 math! HA! Jalen goes to school from 7:45 am until 2:45 pm. Quite the day for a 4 year old.

Janna and I are doing fine and will keep you all updated on how we feel about Jalen in school. We feel like our house is getting set up and are now ready to really dig into the language. Talk to you all later.
