Jonathan's first day at pre-kindergarten

Jon went to school on 3 Jan without a fuss. The teacher brought him to his classroom upstairs. He was bigger than all in his class of 3-coming-4yr-olds. He's in the Level 1 class. By size, he would fit with the kids in the Level 2 and 3 classes downstairs.I took a few shots. There were four boys and three girls by the time Jon got to class. One of the boys was crying, first day trauma. I believe there're couple more classmates. He was nice and drink a little from his bottle. Said bye to him. But I forgot to tell Teach about his rough play at home and went back up. I found him checking out the other classrooms. very independent boy. As usual, he did a little wave with his hand while it's hung by his side. Very cool.
When I picked him up, he was playing so I took a few more photos. He was the only one who walked out of the play area to check out the slide. But he didn't go on it coz there were puddles of water. Disappointed. (note: he checked out the slide on day 2 too. Nope, puddles of water were still there. He didn't understand when I told him PE days are on Mon and Wed and I'm sure someone will clean the puddles up.)

Grandma said that she heard him say "F... Y.." to the helper in the afternoon when he passed her his snack bowl. WHAT!!! When I asked him about it, he was puzzled. If he did say the vulgarity, he didn't understood what it meant. But we shall monitor him over the next couple of days and see if he repeats it. (note: another 'F' word today..."follow me". Much better.)

Jill was having her milk when she woke up around lunch time and I happened to give Jon his, before his nap time. Have not taken shots of them together for ages. Since helper was around, I quickly snapped away without fear of Jill falling or Jon hitting her. (yes, he's into a boxing phase right now.) I like this photo very much. Looks like they're in the middle of a jump.Also, after working on the Calendar swaps for a couple of hours in the day and more at night over three nights, I've finally finished 24 pages of July 2011.
