Első nap/First day

Családi életünk nagy eseménye, hogy hétfőtől Benjámin is óvodás lett! Én jobban izgultam, mint ő, féltem, hogy a magabiztosság könnyekbe csap át majd az első napon, de képzeljétek, nem sírt!!! Annyira jó! Persze ezerszer könnyebb a helyzete, hogy ott van az imádott nagytesó, akivel egy csoportba járhat. :)

Azért attól is tartottam (igen, mindig izgulok valami miatt, tudom, hülyeség! :), hogy a kezdeti lelkesedés le fog lohadni elég hamar. És valóban, a második nap reggelén öltözés közben kijelentette a nagyfiú: Unom az óvodát!!! :) Húha, nem mertem neki megmondani, hogy még legalább 16 év intézményes oktatás vár rá életében! Brrr, leírni is sok...

A big event in our family is that Benjamin started pre-school on Monday! I was more nervous than him and was concerned that his self-confidence would turn into tears the first day, but thankfully he didn't cry!!! So cool! Of course what makes his situation great is the presence of the beloved big brother in the same class. :)

I was also concerned (yes, I am always worrying about something, yes, I know I shouldn't! :) that the initial enthusiasm would fade quickly. And lo and behold, the morning of the second day while getting dressed he blurted out: "I have had enough of school!!! :) Wow, I didn't dare to tell him that there is at least 16 years of institutional schooling awaiting him! Ouch, sounds a lot just writing it down...

Íme a hagyományos évkezdő fotó az óvoda előtt, immár két szereplővel:
Here is the traditional first-day photo in front of the school, now with two participants:
A másik nagy esemény Benjámin életében, hogy tegnap 3 éves lett! Boldog szülinapot, drágám!!! :)
The other big event in Benjamin's life is that he turned 3 yesterday! Happy birthday, sweetie!!! :)

Our computer is still in the shop, but wanted to write a note. So glad that BG is doing ok, but quite surprised that he thought 1 day was enough! We will let you know when we get back on line at home.

We are back in the land of technology and want to wish BG a VERY Happy 3rd Birthday! Hope you had a great day, big guy! There are a few things in the mail for all of you.

Love the picture of the boys first day of school. They both look so big and grown up!

Matt -- would you drop me an email to caamot (at) gmail? I mentioned you to a former classmate of mine who is now in Budapest, and he wants to touch base with you. /Chris

PS - hope you're well, it's been too long!
