Noah goes to school and turns 2!

Well, it's been a hectic week and we are tired, but I promise we'll get more posted about what's going on here. Today is Noah's 2nd birthday! Two whole years! It's really hard to believe. He is getting so big, and looking so grown-up. (I know, we'll keep saying that all the way to age 25, but it's true!)

We've felt it even more this week, as he went to his first days of nursery school - here they call it a "nido" (nest) or "jardin" (garden). He's just going a few days a week, really for the social interaction and to hear more Spanish. But he absolutely loves it. They have activities like painting and plenty of things to play with. There's only a few kids in each class, so they each get plenty of attention. Every morning before leaving he has been very excited, going on and on about "skoo". He grabs his hat and Spider-Man backpack and runs to the door. Today he didn't go the full time, but he stopped by to pick up some artwork, and they all sang Happy Birthday. It's just adorable. Here are a few pictures, with more to come.

Tomorrow morning we are having his party at the apartment. Birthday parties are a big deal here, and we have (well, mostly Laura has) been preparing all week. It's a "Cars" theme, and we'll put up pictures over the weekend. Happy Birthday to our growing two-year-old!
