Kindergarten redux:

     I have a kindergartener- WHAT?! I spoke with our neighbor Andrea about what I should do regarding the letter about kindergarten. My idea was to keep Jackson in the Spielgruppe until the Fall break (they take 3 weeks here) and then send him to the kindergarten after the break. I didn't really know how to go about getting this message to the administration. What was I going to do? Call and ask “sprechen zie Englisch?” - Nein?- okay, click. Lovely Andrea offered to call the school administration and ask some questions for me. Well, I jumped on that offer. The admin did not like my idea- He should have been in school 4 weeks ago! Get him to kindergarten. -Okay, we'll try it out. 

        We visited on Friday. And let me tell you, I have one excited 4 year old. All the kindergarteners get these refective orange safety V's to wear to and from school and Jackson has wanted to wear his non-stop since it was given to him on Friday. (First day pics to be posted soon) He starts Monday. He will go 5 days a week 8:50 to 11:40. I'm not too nervous about it. It helps that I have no expectations other than have a good time and hopefully pick up a little Swiss German. He has been very reluctant with the language so far, but maybe the daily exposure will help.
