Poking my head because, according to Jim "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 14, 2005 11:53:06 pm PDT today is Clara's third (how can it be already?) birthday.
Happy birthday! With lots of wishes for Fiona, of course, and the rest of the family!
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Happy birthday to Clara!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Happiest birthday, Clara! I hope it's full of delights.

Thanks, everyone! I think she had a good day, though it was a bit overwhelming at times. She scored some brilliant pressies, including a CD player, so we now have "In the Night Garden" on heavy rotation.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Awww... Clara is THREE!!!
Glad it was a happy.

B. started school yesterday! (They don't start until 6 here, and he's six-and-a-half). It was pretty exciting, especially as they make an enormous deal of the first day. Here is a picture of him with his "Schultüte", the big roll of cardboard filled with goodies which all schoolchildren are given when they start school. He made it himself, hence the dinosaurs:
Now we're just waiting for reality to set in. (He can already write and read up to age 10 level, so we have the feeling he might get a bit bored.... We'll see).

Oh my GOD, he is adorable! I love the dinosaurs!

I'm glad he gets to have a big deal made! What a cutie!
Is this kindergarten or first grade? For that matter, I don't know when reading/letters starts in America these days -- don't remember a whole lot of it in my kindergarten.

This is first grade. He's just finished three years of Kindergarten, i.e. preschool. They don't learn reading and writing there either usually; he's self-taught.
