I Don't Have Blonde Hair

I don't have blonde hair, but I do have 4 blonde streaks. Their color perception is all wrong. The 5 and 6 year-olds at one of my kindergartens drew me these as "Thank You" gifts.

I love the fact that they drew my glasses so well! The color and shape - perfect! They also made this little medallion and one of the 3 year olds placed it on me, with a bit of height-handicap struggle. Veryyyyy adorable!

I watched them rehearse their "graduation from kindergarten" ceremony today. They take these things so seriously here and it was so cute to watch them. Next "year" they'll be 1st graders!

I guess it's a milestone in Japan.



1, 2, 3, 4 - I DECLARE THUMBWAR!
I also taught some of them how to play Thumb War today. They're such little cheats though - they use two hands! But it doesn't take long before some of the kids learn the rules and they are die-hard about enforcing them. Seriously.
