First day of school! Milo is in 3rd grade, Watson is in Kindergarten! In the US, Kindergarden is treated like real school - kids have to attend, and it goes all day (from 9:30 - 15:25). They learn reading and writing and stuff so I was really surprised to see that with my German background. Why don't they just call it first grade? Beats me.
Watson sitting at his new desk. The teacher had prepared everything nicely, playdo was ready for crafts, and classical music was playing. Very different from my experience some 30 years ago!
On our way walking to school. Watson was very excited!
Just outside our house. Milo all cool and jaded, Watson excited for the new.
I don't think Watson realizes that this is the first step into the industrialization machine. From this step on, it's studying, learning, competing, working. Childhood is almost over!

That desk looks really nice! Poor Watsi, he has no idea what he is storming off to...but after all, learning can be fun, too :)
