On May 23, Markus was enrolled into Jidoukan class in our area. It is a community sponsored center for children under 3 years old. Parents accompany their children to classes, which are every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30~12:00pm. According to his age, Markus is categorized into the Rabbit Class. It will continue on until next March 2007. 
The first half hour consists of teaching songs, dances and storytime. Following that, activities and obstacle courses are set up for the children to attempt. Then finally, the kids have free time to play and experiment with toys, ride tricycles and cars, etc. Though classes are all in Japanese, Markus has no problem enjoying his time interacting with fellow classmates. If it was up to Markus, he would stay at this haven all day!

Making new friends!
This is Mihoko and her son Chihiro. They are new friends whom we met that live in our same apartment complex. Mihoko has been a great help. She has introduced us to many other people and was also the one to tell us about the local Jidokan for Markus to attend.
Braving the tricycle for the first time!
