Field trip
The boys each walked to different parks last week and had lunch outside. So, I got up at 5:30 in order to make their bentos. Grilled pumpkin, zucchini, and a boiled carrot. Corn grilled with butter. A fried shrimp (bought) and a Chinese dumpling (bought), avocado and cherry tomato for Jolon, scrambled egg, cheese on steamed broccoli, grilled salmon and rice balls. We usually get some feedback from the teachers as to how it looks and if the kids ate everything. Jolon ate everything, but Kellan couldn't finish his, so their advice was to pack a bit less next time. Sounds good to me.
New responsibilities in the Blue Sky class
One of the big changes for Jolon this year is the pre-lunch routine. This year the kids have to do more than just carry the dishes to the tables as they've been doing for the past 2 years. Now if it's your group's turn to be in charge of lunch, you have to don an apron and a hat and divide the rice, the salads, and the soup into all 22 individual bowls and plates. After things are divided equally, then they'll serve the rest of the class. Every so often an apron and hat come home for us to wash and then return to school the next day.
Baby Kellan and new brother, Jolon, video
The first clip is from Apr. 3rd, 07, so Jolon is about 2 years and 4 months and Kellan is just over 2 months old. The next one Jolon is 2 and half and Kellan is right at 4 months old. I really wanted to find some footage of Jolon at about the same age as Kellan is now to compare.
In the second clip I'm asking Jolon about which kids are in which hans (small groups). It's especially funny to us because this is the exact question we ask Kellan all the time these days.
Tomorrow I'll put up a few recent clips of Kellan for comparison.

Kellan's second birthday
We celebrated Kellan turning 2 again in Feb. while we were visiting in TN. Aunt Gail made a fabulous airplane cake and all the cousins came down for the party. You can really see the excitement in his eyes as the cake is being presented.
Kagura from Oct. 2008
We went to a lot of Kagura performances last fall and Jolon, especially, really enjoyed them. Here we tried to reenact a performance in our living room. Jan is the snake and Jolon is the samurai figure who defeats him.
