Update

Zaky: is taking to school much better. He has learned his two friends names. And the Ali who was bigger then him he now shorter then him. I was told by our friend that they don't do permission slips prior to field trips your kid just comes talking about the place they went. Yesterday was Zaky's first field trip. His favorite part was riding in the bus without a seat belt! I still haven't quite figured out where he went. Apparently there were kids there who were poor and "didn't have money to go to a school", there were also horses and sheep and dogs. His highlight, aside from no seat belts, was saying "bonjour" to the horses! He told this to Bill coming home from school and Bill said "great you are learning French...bonjour Zaki." Zaki replied, "no baba you only say bonjour when you go into school." He also is learning to stand up for himself a bit more, he told Bill when the bigger kids were circling around him he told them to "khalus" (stop it), I'm proud he is learning to defend himself verbally in another language, and doesn't seem to shaken by it. He has made the suggestion today that we give them a DVD so they can know Jesus and not be mean anymore.

Jonas and Zaky got donuts after supper as a treat. Jonas ate his then started crying to have a piece of Zaky's. I poked his tummy and asked him where his donut went? " It is in your tummy" I said, "no it's not, it's in my poo poo" he says.
