Back to School in May

Zusha took a looong break from cheider. He kept getting sick non-stop and missing weeks at a time. Then he'd come back, and after 2 or 3 days, he'd catch something else. It was a never-ending cycle. So I kept him home since January. Once he recuperated from the illness he had in January, he didn't get sick at all, except one or 2 mild colds.

So as soon as the weather warmed up, we decided it was time to head back!
Zusha went back to cheider like a pro. I didn't want to leave him full-time on the first day, so we decided on 3 hours. Meanwhile, Gedalya and I went around 18th avenue, going on rides and all kinds of stores.

Then we headed over to the park. I didn't know when Zusha's class would be going to the park, but since he has never gone before with the class, I didn't know how to prepare him for it. So I was hoping to catch his class if they were there at the same time as us. But they weren't, so Gedalya and I just played until it was time to pick Zusha up.

Finally! Gedalya is so eagerly waiting in the cheider corridor to greet his big brother.


And here is the big cheider yingel himself! :D Playing with one of the pinwheel fans I bought while he was in cheider.


And in true "cheider tradition," here are the boys getting a ride on the "cheider horse!"


Then we headed back to the park all together. Zusha's class came at the same time we did, so I'm glad Zusha got to see how it works first, without being thrown right into an unfamiliar activity.
