2 Cool 4 Skool

Mazen started school yesterday! We decided to wait another year to send him to public school kindergarten since he is not quite five years old. (Although he made the cut-off so we could have sent him.) When I polled a hundred people last year, the unanimous answer was to give boys with late birthdays an extra year. So instead of doing a repeat pre-K year at his former school, we thought it would best to move to another school so he would have a change of pace. A stepping stone to the big halls of kindergarten next year.

Pro: Mazen is still asleep when the neighbors get on the school bus, so we are both happy that his new school doesn’t start until 9.

Con: $$$. I was looking forward to not having a school line item in my budget, but that will have to be postponed!

We are excited for him to learn Spanish and even more math!

And if you needed a little refresher on first days past, here you go ; ) He has really grown into that backpack! (And I got it really clean by hand washing it last week.)

Some meals….! Easy berries and vanilla bean yogurt.

A delicious salad with figs!!! And goat cheese, chicken, carrots, tomatoes, greens.

And an awesome shrimp curry that I put together on the spot. First I sautéed shrimp. Then green peppers and carrots. The sauce was 1.5 tbsp Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste with a splash of fish sauce, 2 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and about 1/3 cup water. All simmered down with half a can of regular coconut milk.

Have a great day!
