Every year around September 11 Andrew's school does a Freedom Walk. In the past this little parade was kept on school grounds and the kids just marched around the building. This year they decided to let the kids walk around the block with a fire truck leading the way. The older children were singing songs about America and freedom as the walked through the neighborhood. The kids really seemed to have a lot of fun and I think it is great that the school is teaching them the importance of freedom and what it means in terms that are age appropriate. Because we live on a military base, all of the kids at Andrew's school are aware in some form or fashion of deployments and the sacrifices soldiers and their families make on a daily basis.
Here they come
There's Andrew!
It was at this point Andrew ran over to show me he had a loose tooth. He lost his 1st top tooth later that afternoon and as of today he is now missing 3 top teeth with a 4th one that is loose.
