Jake starts school!

Today marked a big milestone for us down here in Jakarta: Jake started school! The boy turns 3 this coming Saturday and began his academic career this morning at a very nice pre-school quite close to our house.

Our little pride and joy proudly shows off his first day of school outfit.


All ready to go!


Balls in hand... Jake checks out the action on the playground.


Golfing! Nothing (except for perhaps a bowling set) could make Jake happier.


Jake gets ready to take a big swing!


Jake takes a few tentative steps across the bridge... check out the videos below for more action.


Music time!


Jake gets ready for snack time --- time to wash up.


Crackers, water and raisins.... no finer food for a 2 year old.


Jake finshed up his morning with a good book.


VIDEOS!

Jakes takes a few steps down the hill in the backyard.


To highlight just how much Jake learned in one day... check out this sequence of videos.

Our boy watches a 'bridge running expert' with envious eyes.


Jakes gives it a go... ever so slowly....


After a little practice... Jake shows off his new skills!
