I went to Play School today, my first day.

Saw 10 other people about my size.

Listened to story acted out with puppets.

Looked at rabbits ... really liked them.

Planted a few seeds in my planter, and I must water them every day.

In the next few classes, offered twice a week for 90 minutes per session, we will learn about earth, wind, fire and water.

Cool.

The Coconut attended her first playschool this past week. She saw her first rabbit, together with 10 little friends, and planted her beans.

The beans have already sprouted, nearly an inch tall, and at some point we will have to transplant the plants, once they are stronger, to bigger planter. Such is the cycle of being.

Coconut is continuing with her swimming lessons, long past the stage of fright, and way into excited enjoyment, and occasionally, seemingly quiet reflection.

Coconut is now taking in beef congee and chicken rice.
