Keanna's 2nd day of school



The kindergarten is the building to the left




Well today was Keanna's 2nd day of German Kindergarten (i.e preschool). Getting dressed in the morning is quite difficult for Keanna she doesn't like jeans. Apparently, they "itch" her. After a morning of coaxing I finally convinced her that it was a good idea to wear jeans to school, she would be able to go on an ice cream date with Daddy later. We made it to school with only a few tears and headed up to her classroom. In German culture they have house shoes and Garden shoes (outdoor shoes). The children walk to school and then change into house shoes once they get to school. This cultural difference is very difficult for Keanna to grasp. Both mornings we have had a huge fit and she pronounces that her house shoes "are ugly with her pants." Who knew that clothing was such a big deal before turning 4. The teacher was kind enough to let her wear socks instead. Lets hope these clothes issues fade off before we reach the teen years, YIKES!

Oh Emily, it sounds like my mornings with Macie. She puts up a fight every morning saying she doesn't want to go and that it's boring, but of course when I pick her up she's as happy as can be. Is it an english school or german? How often does she get to go and you get to have a break? :) It's very pretty there!
