Rowan's preschool held group pictures a few weeks ago. Rowan was overdue for a haircut, so his teacher's attempt to tame his hair involved styling it in a way that it had never before been styled (and probably never will be again, at least not by me). However, I was overwhelmed at the cuteness of this photo -- I really don't know how the photographer got that smile out of him! Absolutely, totally handsome. :)
By the way, I am happy to report that Rowan remains completely in love with his preschool. His teacher this year was amazing, and I think next year's will be too. Rowan is definitely bilingual now, speaking Spanish naturally with his classmates and teachers, though more reluctantly with his mother whose accent and grammatical mistakes probably pain him, so he often just says, "Mommy, please say that in English." It's really thrilling to hear him engage with others in a second language, though, and even more thrilling that he actively wants to continue learning languages. When I asked him what kind of kindergarten he wants to go to, he said one where he can learn to speak many languages! I'm pretty happy that in this lovely area where we are blessed to live, we might just be able to fill that request! Boy oh boy, it's time to start touring potential elementary schools. Hang on while my head spins for a while! :)
