--Katya leaves for school every morning at 7:40 am. If she arrives before 7:55 am, she has to stand and wait outside till the class door opens. And I mean OUTSIDE. Her teacher's name is Ms. Smith, an older African American woman (who looks like she is still 35), who has been in Misawa for over ten years and has intentions on retiring here.
--Alex goes to preschool three times a week now, from 8:30 till 11:30. In the beginning of this year, the original teacher, Ms. Thelma got promoted and a new teacher started teaching the kids, Ms. Amy. This week, the school added another teacher to the class (of thirteen kids!). Her name is Ms. Yuli, a Japanese native, who speaks pretty good English.
--I am still wondering if I should have signed up Alex for Japanese preschool. But every time I think that I wouldn't have him from 9 am till 2 pm and how much money it would cost me, I think that I made the right choice. Plus dealing with picking him up and Mark's nap would be very incovenient. If we lived off base...now that's a different story.
--When Mark turns 18 months this summer, I am planning to sign him up for Japanese "daycare" for once a week for just 3-4 hours. I am definitely looking forward to that as well.
--By the way, Mark is finally walking--at 13 months:) Cutest thing ever. Makes me remember what the other kids look like when they were making their first wobbly steps.
