Luke's Back to School Night was tonight. I teared up (yes, I'm that mom) several times throughout the 45 minutes listening to his teacher talk and share stories. It's SO hard to believe our baby is in real school. I know in the states it would just be PreK, but here it's real school. PE, Dance, Library, Music, lunch in a big kids cafeteria, the whole bit. His teacher is wonderful...he'll have a great year. Here are a few pictures of things hanging up in the room:

| They came up with their class rules and Luke helped to design this page- "Share and Take Turns" |

| For my PYP friends... how cute is this? They do 3 Units of Inquiry as 4 year olds. |

I find myself wanting to freeze time right now with Luke. I LOVE this age. His personality, his excitement for school, his love for mom and dad, everything. It really is the best part of my day when we get to walk him to his classroom each morning and meet him everyday after school. Most days I get to give him hugs when he's out on recess too. I told him tonight as he went to bed to stop getting older. He assured me he'd still love me "next Wednesday" and when he's 13. :) I love that kid!
Adam also took part in Back to School Night tonight. As a way to introduce all the specialists and their roles with the younger kids, our school did live streaming tv through every classroom. It was pretty amazing. All the specialists and our principal were in a large room and they'd take turns talking to the camera with a powerpoint display behind them. He did a great job and will do it again Monday night when I have my Back to School Night.
Once again, this week absolutely FLEW by. In no time at all we'll be ready for Fall break at the end of October. Can't wait! Lots of love to our family & friends! xoxo
Love the PYP going on with the little ones! I know you are treasuring every moment with Luke as you realize this is such as special time for him. It warms me to see the four of you so smiley these days!

Oh Megan, the PYP is so cute at Luke's level. The central ideas are still too wordy (isn't that my ongoing pet peeve?) but they really try to make it understandable for the kids. Luke is also starting to speak Mandarin and some Spanish to us. He had a few sentence conversation (both listening and speaking)with his Mandarin teacher yesterday. Loving that he's so happy and loving school. Makes for a happy mom & dad :) Love & miss you!
