School Days


Today is such a fun and exciting day for Jacob (even though he doesn't know it yet)... he starts school today. He got to see his classroom the other day and meet his teacher :) -- who happens to be his Grandma! He is very excited but got upset when we told him he would be in Kindergarten. In Ethiopia Kindergarten is for 3 and 4 year olds and he had been in "2nd grade" which by our standards is probably 1st grade (we think)! Oh, the tears! Jacob is nearly as tall as Danny and just a couple months younger but for both their sake it is best if they are not in the same grade... we hope that Kinder is the right place for him! The school part is the only time I get stressed out and cranky! I just want to be sure that we are doing the right thing for everyone and that in 15 years they won't hate me for the decisions we make now! :) The big kids start school tomorrow and are super excited! Please be praying for them as they begin this next chapter.
