Hi,
It was Jannaeus first day in school in first grade. He was a bit afraid, but after meeting his teacher, he was eager to go to school.
I was not excited until now when realizing how big he is – as he is going to school!
There was no question if he was ready for it. If he was only nine days younger, he was already in second grade (and maybe he should have).
He was so excited he asked us the day before, he had asked us several times how many hours until we go to sleep.
His teacher is not young, but it is only her second year teaching. She had decided to change her career due to a change in her personal life. I am happy as it means she has motivation and is happy to come in the morning to class.
It was Friday, so the first short day had become even shorter. After a long summer vacation, we had two and a half hours, relatively, for ourselves. Just enough time to take the light train to Sarona, eat something quietly, and come back.
But maybe it is about me, hoping we made it good enough with him he can stand the new situation and place. It is the first step to the adult world, where you are measured and compared daily.
Take Care

Enjoying the relativly quiet time at the Pop and Pope bakery in Sarona.
