It's so cute. And when they start school the Police and Firemen come to show them the proper way to walk to school (yes. ALL children walk to school!) and they are supposed to walk in pairs when they are little. Of course they do it 4 times a day, so they get good at it quickly! (to school, home for lunch, back to school, back home) I would definitely say they are 5 at the minimum, 4 is too young for kindergarten. I love when you see a parade of triangles as they take the kids on field trips. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
