Today was a new adventure. Elise woke up slightly before 8am, which was ok this time. Jonathan had his first day of Deutscheschule!! It's much bigger than I had expected, a pleasant surprise. There were two classes of his age (maybe 15 kids each), and at least two more classes of older kids. He was a little skeptical about me leaving him, and honestly, I was too. I didn't know if it was an immersion program or what their teaching techniques were, and I felt a little guilty for not being about to prep him for it. Other than not knowing that we were responsible for bringing a snack and crayons, it went really well. The teacher (Frau Winklmeier) said he jumped right in and made friends easily. Of course, he wouldn't share a thing about class. ugh. The important part is that he said he "had a lot of fun, but they didn't use any numbers." (I have been working on 1-10 auf Deutsch with him.) All I can ask for!
Meanwhile, Elise and I spent an hour finding a grocery store for his snack. And, then we chilled at a Dunkin' Donuts. I tried to read, but that wasn't very successful.
Did I mention that she's blabbing "dadadadadada" and will do the sign for Dad on a regular basis. She hasn't associated dadadada with Dad yet.
