One school trip. But not only.

Today Jonathan had a school field trip to Museum of Natural History in NYC. Some active parents were accompanying the children. And Igor was thereby! Although it was not planned. A day before the school trip Jonathan started to complain, that "all the parents are going, only you don't. You missed already my Kindergarden and 1st grade trips. Uuuuu....." I couldn't help him, but Igor came up with a clever idea to join the class community at the museum. So he did. And Jonathan was so happy!

The visit was great, although a little chaotic. A lot of kids, a lot to see, you know...

But the biggest excitement was, as Igor brought home some gifts from the museum's gift shop. I'm always astonished about this my husbands ability to buy great gifts. I would never be able, because I assume, they have already everything they need. But Igor has a rare talent to find something, kids would be happy about. This time he bought an interesting book (an always welcome gift for Jonathan), beautiful stones (13 pieces!) in a small velvet bag and a pen, made from different kinds of wood, and with Jonathan's name engraved. Great, right?

Last time Jonathan's class had some troubles to go through. His teacher suddenly quitted his job because of personal reasons. So they had a substitute teacher, who was also somehow gone. Fortunately they found a new teacher. But it's still not clear, if she will bring kids till the end of the year or in April another teacher will come back from her maternity and take over the class. A little too much, but what can we do?!

In his after school activities Jonathan is progressing a lot. About a month ago he was playing in a piano concert.

He enjoys the piano and is playing all the time. His teacher says, she is thinking to send him for a competition soon. Wow!

Another thing what Jonathan loves is fencing. In May he will participate in a tournament, but probably even earlier, already in March. He currently practices 2-3 times a week and gets ready for that.

Did I mention also his swimming, Lee Strasberg Institute and shortly also art classes? Moreover he loves to read, to cook and to play with his sister. He is a busy guy, my Jonathan. And the loveliest one!
