What I Heard

Last night Sam stopped reading the book he's been reading to the kids at a cliff-hanger part.  "Oh, that stinks!" he exclaimed, referring to them having to wait until tonight to see what happens.  Tjabe's response was "Huh?  I didn't do it."  Poor kid always gets the blame when things stink around here.

Maggie's Singing Debut

Here's Maggie singing an original song entitled "And So We Do."

First Things

Off to school

Yesterday Tjabe had his first day of kindergarten, and Sam had his first day of the school year.  Tjabe was excited, and upon returning home I got out of him some of the things he did in his class.  I think he will have a great time, and I'm excited to hear from him what he's learning.  Maggie probably missed him, but we were busy most of the day with other kids, and when we picked Tjabe up (he goes for a half day)  we continued to be busy.  They seemed to fight more than usual yesterday afternoon, so maybe that's her way of missing him.  Then last night before bed Tjabe showed us his first loose tooth.  He kept getting out of bed asking us questions about his tooth, and what would happen when it fell out, and how he should brush his teeth when it's gone, and other things concerning him about the process.  I don't feel old enough to have a kid in kindergarten that's losing his teeth.
