When children in Germany set off for their first day in school upon entering first grade, their parents and/or grandparents present them with a “schultuete” (a big cardboard cone, prettily decorated and filled with toys, candy, school supplies, and various other goodies). It is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter. So congratulations, Katharine!
We got one for Lukas as well. Sometimes he will follow along with Katharine's lessons... so that almost counts.
Lennon got a Pez Dispenser and lollipop, and that was ok by him. And yes, that is him wearing training pants. He actually likes to walk over and sit on the potty, but I have yet to see him use it. We're going to give it a try and see how it goes now that school has started. Heck, I'll buy the kid a dozen schultuete's if he can start working that one out.
