A Story about Ethiopia

A couple days ago we were at a graduation party and on the family's property was a cow. Judah was thrilled and not at all shy or afraid of it. At one point he pointed to the cow's hoof and said, "It's owie!" I said, "No, it's his hoof." he responded, "No, it kicks, it's owie! In Epiopia (Ethiopia) cow is kick me. Bonk head, it's ouch!" This is the first time Judah's ever shared a story about being in Ethiopia. What a crazy story!! When I tried to encourage him to tell Dave the story later on he also went on to talk about the cars in Ethiopia. It was so wonderful to hear him recount his country and memories he had. He hasn't talked about people yet so we'll see if that is something he eventually shares with us.

Kindergarten

Last week we went to "Kindergarten-Round-Up" with Judah. All the little kiddos went off with the different teachers to have a snack and draw a picture while we stayed and filled out paperwork. We had to talk to the nurse about Judah's immunization records and get a waver. We talked to the about Judah's English and found out they have ELL (English Language Learning) which he's get 45 minutes a day 4 days a week. They start all the kids at half days for the first week and them certain kids move onto to full days 4 days a week. I was impressed by what I saw and heard and think it'l be a gret little place for Judah. I teared up a couple times thinking about sending him off to school. I can't believe I will have a kindergartener!! Anyway, when we went to pick him up the teacher in that room loved him and said she hopes he ends up in her room. :-)
