Open houses

It was a busy day today, or maybe I should say yesterday since it's 1:30am now. We started this morning with an open house at Javari's new preschool. There's lots to play with there and they have different areas with a play kitchen, train table, lego building, drawing, etc. Javari likes it there but he thought there were too many people today. It was really packed as they had one open house for all the classes. He was too shy to say hi to the teachers but I'm sure he'll be more comfortable once class starts in two weeks. Hakeem and Dequan had fun playing there as well, and Dequan was putting everything he could find into his mouth. Hopefully he won't get sick!

After that we went to McDonald's for lunch and some more play. Hakeem has mentioned several times today that Dequan got his first McDonald's toy ever. It's a special occasion I suppose. :)

The older two played "red light green light" with a bunch of kids. Javari told me he had found new friends, cute.

Hubby was working in the morning but he came along for Hakeem's open house in the evening. My big boy is going to seond grade, wohoo! Interesting how the do the classes though. In Sweden we have the same class mates for the first 9 years of school. Hakeem's class has been split up and mixed with other classes. In his new class there are three kids from his old class (out of the kids that were there today). I don't know if this an American thing or just his school. I wonder why they do that. They also have a new teacher every year, whereas in Sweden you normally have the same teacher for the first 3-6 years.

New class room and teacher this year.

Just can't get them all to look at the same time.

Starting next week I have to get up super early in the mornings. Feels awesome when I've been on an entirely different schedule all summer. Better get used to it.
