Bobs' First Day of Kindergarten


Bobs was just as excited as we were. It's surprising how nervous us parents can get over the first day of kindergarten.



Bobs is in the morning class and there are two kindergarten classes at the same time. Both teachers also have the same name. How funny is that? To differentiate, as it is a French Immersion school, Bobs' teacher goes by Mme. Teresa and the other teacher goes by Mme. Therese.


Daddy was able to come for the morning drop off. We had a bit of confusion as to which door Bobs enters as each kindergarten class has a different door to enter.


Since Mads and I dropped Daddy off downtown, we decided to pay uncle H a surprise visit. Good thing he was home! We had coffee.



After running a few errands, Mads and I came back to pick Bobs up and met a bunch of other parents in the meantime.


They have planted a nice garden on the grounds.


Mads has already made some friends. Reminds me of the friends I made in kindergarten and that I am still friends with. I think one friend that I still have and had was truly the first person I spoke to in my class.

Mads First Day of Pre School


Today was Mads' first day of preschool. He did extremely well and was very happy to go.


He goes to a small community run pre school in an older neighbourhood just over from ours with 17 other kids in his class, a teacher ( who has won an award ), a teacher's aide, and a parent volunteer.


Bobs really wanted to see what the classroom looked like. Mads was able to check out Bobs' classroom yesterday at Kindergarten when we met the teacher. Tomorrow is Bobs' big day too!

Last Time at the Cabin

We had our last weekend ever, at Sarah's family cabin. It has been sold as it was on the market for three years. We have been very fortunate to spend time there. Myself as a teenager, and over the years with Jamie and our kids.
