Just a quick post to say that the photos from Sebastian’s first day of first grade are up, along with some others from the past week or so.

We made it just in time for announcements after a scramble to get all the supplies packed and ready, so sorry there aren’t more. You’ll also see a few shots from last Friday when Sebastian joined me for a fun-filled day at work. He was a great companion and we even put him to work in the warehouse. I don’t know that he’ll want to follow in my footsteps but let’s be realistic – neither would I.
Sebastian was explaining how he created a Lego Transformer to Anna-Marie the other day:
Children are tiny and we have a lot of ideas. Children have much better ideas than adults you know. When you’re an adult, you don’t have so many ideas.
I would have to agree. The show at the LA Coliseum is an hour long and has an amazing finale. AM & I were talking and neither of us can remember anything so grand from our childhood experiences. They started abruptly with a small, short barrage of the loud variety and I thought Sebastian was going to demand to leave immediately. But he stuck it out and by the end he was having a great time. Below is the grand finale of the event — not the best quality of video but you get the picture:
Last night they had a free event at the Japanese American Cultural Community Center (JACCC) in Little Tokyo and they showed the pilot episodes for Astro Boy (1963) and Gigantor (1964). The also showed the original Japanese version of Voltron, but decided to have a DJ create a live soundtrack, so it was a little disappointing. Still, we had a great time and enjoyed some veggie hot dogs from a cart, some ice cream from a truck, and some good anime from Japan. Woo hoo!
We made another trip to the La Brea Tar Pits yesterday and had a good time poking the tar and looking at the fossils. The helpful excavators working on project 23 directed us to an exceptionally gooey deposit that was bubbling up with the sticky stuff and AM & Sebastian were fascinated by it. That isn’t to say that I wasn’t, only that I tend to be a little clumsy and didn’t want to get too close, lest I become the latest victim of “the the tar tar pits.”
There are some photos of our day here and we’ll have some more this week as Sebastian is graduating from kindergarten TOMORROW! Check back soon!
I just realized that it has been almost four months since the last post here on SEBlog… I think that any family news has been communicated either on my other site or via the phone, but I wonder if this site has lost its purpose. The point of this whole thing was to keep a record of Sebastian’s life, and I still want to do that, but is this the proper format? Maybe it is, and I just need to be disciplined about it’s upkeep. Perhaps a weekly update to start. I don’t know and will have to think about it…
