Did you know the word Kindergarten is German? Well it is, and boy are they serious about it. Kids start here at 3 and go all day all week and everyone goes. We have a darling and very developed Kindergarten next to our house and decided we'd check it out. Elli has been going 2 weeks now and has been such a trouper about it. Although the teachers all have some English they speak in German as do all the kids. Elli goes for just an hour and a half in the morning and she is just doing great! Boy are we proud of our little Kindergartener!
A couple of her cute Kindergarten quotes were:
"None of the kids there know me, but I'm Elli Holzer"
"Will Mom and Dad be sleeping there too?" (During our initial tour they showed her the napping room and she thought she was going to be staying during the night too. What a trusting girl.)

I am not afraid to be culturally insensitive here and say those Germans are NUTS! I think it's crazy that they start with so much school so young. It sounds like Elli's schedule is great though. I'm glad she's having fun!
