Julian's Classroom

Today was Julian's first day of school in Kristi's classroom. He has already had many happy moments here, while picking up his sister, but now it is he who belongs here. He knows where to find some old favorite toys, but now has more freedom to explore this magical paradise of exotic toys, cozy spaces, and new friends. One of his favorite things to explore is the kids' sized drum kit. Here, after class is over and we go in to pick up his jacket and lunchbox, he sits down to play. He carefully tries out each piece, methodically, intently, listening to the varied sound each one makes.
