Ryan started school at the end of August. He goes to two schools here - and his day is busy! He goes to a local elementary school every day for 3 hours as part of a pre-school program. Mon, Weds, and Friday he goes to a local church for another program. Each is doing wonders for his ability to communicate (his sentence structure is world's away from where it was a few short weeks ago) and interact with other kids his age.
Below are a couple pictures from his first day at the elementary school. He seemed pretty excited at first - he had been to the school once and seemed to like it. Heidi took him there his first official day to get him settled, and he quickly went from cute to fed up with the concept of being there. It was tough going at first, but we (bribed him) gave him an incentive for being good, and he does great at school now - and is the proud owner of a Virginia flag (the boy LOVES flags and will work hard for them).
Our happy child at school!!
Ryan gets really excited in the morning waiting for the bus - and boy does it come early (6:30 AM)!! Some days he needs a little coaching to head out there, but we're working on it...read, we're bribing him with the Germany flag.

A bus for preschool!!! That's a big city :) I remember in Kindergarten getting off at the wrong stop and some nice person walking me to the daycare center. Make sure he gets off where he's supposed to!
I can only imagine him running around the neighborhood - lost and confused! My worst nightmare! The great thing is they have a bus monitor that makes sure they get off where they're supposed to - and they won't let them go unless a parent is there to get them. It's a great system...but still a little scary to put your kid in someone else's care!
