Winter Outfit

The weather has gotten much cooler. It happened so suddenly. I wasn't quite ready for it, but it is so nice to have cool, and a bit muggy versus sauna.

William's school goes to the 'winter outfit' the first of October. So, here he is in his finest. Still has to wear shorts, though.

He says he likes Japanese school. The only thing he doesn't like about it is that they just speak too much Japanese there.

He has started to like eating the lunch. He detests 'Japanese salad' which turns out to be a cabbage and raisin mix. Here you have to finish your food. He loves onion soup, miso soups, and looks forward to the days he gets milk instead of tea. I think the tea smells like cow pee, but it's supposed to be good for you! He would never drink it before now.

We have been given the news that since we didn't start him in American DoDDs school this year, that he will not be old enough to start first grade next year. So, he is destined to be in kindergarten for 2 years. As he was reading a letter the other day, and only missing one word (due to the cursive bit) and another due to it being a multi-syllablic word, I looked at Tim and said, "And this boy won't be in first grade (when they learn to read) for two more years!!"
