Today Gregory completed the first day of the 1st Grade. He is in a multi-age class (K - 2nd grade) so he will keep the class (for the most part) and the same teacher (as long as she remains here). So there wasn't a lot of "new" today for Gregory and that was kind of nice. His class is relatively small (20 students) and about half of that number are new students (maybe a little less). There is a german tradition that when you enter the 1st grade you get a "Schultüte". This is a cardboard cone which is filled with "goodies" and school supplies. Even though Joshua isn't going into 1st grade he got a miniature Schultüte because it was just easier this way. I put some silly stuff (moustaches, toys, candy) and then a couple of school supplies in them each as well.
I also forgot to get a picture last year of what Gregory wanted to be when he grows up, but it was a paleontologist. This year it's an astronaut. I love asking this question each year...it will be fun to hear what it is in 10 years from now :-)
