Kindergarten registration

Today is kindergarten registration for the Davis school district. We are going to register Douglas at the Spanish immersion school, Cesar Chavez. He really wants to go there; he has friends going and is enjoying the Spanish they do at his preschool. It will mean missing the one opportunity we will have during their entire lives to have both our kids at the same school, but oh well.

There a chance he won't get in, depending on how many kids try to register. There are 110 slots, so if more than that register there will be a lottery. We should find out within about a week whether he gets in or not.

In the past few days Douglas has begun drawing some cartoons based around a character he is calling Professor Kumquat, a professor who studies "trees and stuff." The cartoons seem to involve Professor Kumquat visiting the police department for some reason and his pants falling down. However, Douglas can't seem to write small enough for the panels he is drawing so he decided to write the words "in Chinese," i.e. with little squiggles.

Owen is on the Braves this spring and their first game is Saturday morning. It seems like a nice group of kids, and the coaches are nice as well so hopefully it should be a good season.

I've been busy in the back yard. I planted an avocado tree, a lemon tree, and a few other things... now just have to manage to keep it all watered enough to stay alive through the summer.
