Isaac at the barnehage

Isaac is spending his weekdays at his barnehage (translates to kids' garden a.k.a. kindergarten).  He is a tough dropoff, as he's always been, even back home in Texas.  His teachers are very good about texting me throughout the day to let me know how Isaac is doing.  He loves it once I leave.

Last week he started napping at the barnehage.  He didn't want to nap on the mattresses inside, but he slept great in his stroller outside.  So he was in the line-up of kiddos sleeping out on the porch in his vogn (stroller).

This week, he made friends with Maria from his class, who is his age and who had been on holiday the previous week.  He started sleeping on the mattresses, holding hands with his new friend.


Isaac likes the brown cheese on his bread at lunch time.

Focus!

Happy boy 
On Thursdays, his class goes out on expeditions.  The last two weeks they have gone to feed the ducks at a nearby creek.  On Fridays, they cook and bake.  This week they baked bread. 





Living here without a vehicle is great for me.  Dropping off and picking up Isaac and Grace at school each day is 7 miles of walking.  None of the walks are very long - it's one and a half miles to Isaac's barnehage, and I can walk most of it along the river.  The walks will get a bit more interesting when winter sets in!
