Dear Zealand at 17 months


Dear Zealand,
You are now almost a year and half! This Fall we started going to what we call "school." You call it "ool." San Francisco Community College offers classes everyday and at multiple locations throughout the city for toddlers to pre-k and their parents. On Mondays we go to the main campus off of Ocean Avenue. The facility is brand new. One room has tumbling mats, tunnels, tubes, slides, monkey bars, horses that rock, and a huge tub of balls. The other room looks like your standard preschool - books, play kitchen, trucks, train table, art, baby dolls, etc. You love "ool." When I tell you that we are going to school you smile and say "ball" you then say "neigh" for the white horse that you love to rock on. When we first get there you ask the teacher for the balls. They aren't usually out when we first arrive. You know exactly where they are kept and you will walk over and stand near the door where they are kept. Once she pulls out the tub of balls you proceed to pick up and throw each ball. You then grab a favorite, usually a big blue ball, and carry it everywhere with you while you climb slides, crawl though tunnels, and walk on the balance beam.
