We're off to the ZOO today!

The zoo has got to be one of our family's favourite places to visit. The boys and I go there a lot on the weekends that Aaron has to work. Generally each time we go we start with a different area, today it's the Canadian Wilderness.

We survived the first week of school for Joey :o)

Next week Alex gets to meet his teacher and then have his first day of Kindergarten on Wednesday - then he'll start full time on the following Monday. It's not a great system in my mind but I'm sure Alex will be fine.There's something like 8 Kindergarten classes and each student gets a 1/2 hour visit and tour with their teacher (where they will unknowingly be assessed for letters, numbers, cutting with scissors and so forth). So, with that many kids to accomodate these interviews are over a 5 day period. Then with two days of staggered entry for them and the first PD Day on the 12th, that leaves a start date for Alex of the 15th. 13 days after his brother. I've given up trying to explain to Alex why he's not starting with Joey..

I don't understand any of this staggered entry business. Complicated for adults let alone the Littles!
