a year in the life

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Today is The Boy's first day in the day care class for two year olds.

How time has certainly flown, recently. When he started, he was still a bit shaky on his legs (and some of his classmates could not yet walk at all) and he didn't speak. Now we can't get him to shut up. And he's halfway toilet trained, too. Yesterday he made it through the day in underpants without any accidents. I can't even imagine where he'll be in another year.

Good luck with your second year class, kiddo!

P.S. We've written some thank you notes for his two teachers, Yuko-sensei and "E-chan" (whose proper name I never learned). They've not only helped our son enormously but they've certainly helped Mari and me become more able parents. Mari's favorite treat every day was to read what the teachers had written in the journal that we pass back and forth.
