Today Jacob celebrated his first 17th of May (on the 12th of May, I know…) at Store Tune Gård, the ‘barnehage’ (I still haven’t found an accurate translation. I guess kindergarten is the closest ‘English’ word…) he spends his weekdays at.
Here are a couple of video’s of their parade which I shot with my Nokia N900:

Today was a big day for Jacob: His very first day at barnehage (Kindergarten) – Store Tune Gård. Since Marianne was off to work with the car, I walked with Jacob to Store Tune Gård. Since it was sunny & warm I was kinda overheating upon arrival, and was glad we started inside. 
We were met by his ‘teacher’ (I am not sure what the correct title/name is), Ida. After a few minutes of playing shy, Jacob quickly bonded with his charming teacher and the rest of the day she and I followed Jacob all over the place while he was enjoying himself immensely with playing, alone and with the other children there.
I know one can’t really get a good impression of a place and its employees in just one day, but my first impression is definitely a good one!
Tomorrow Jacob will go there with his mammy, and I am sure she’ll agree with me that this is a good place for Jacob to spend 3 days in the week! 
Jacob will have his first day at barnehage (in ‘English’: Kindergarten) on Monday. Together with a whole bunch of other toddlers he will be going to Store Tune Gård, in the Blue group. (No, not the Blue Man Group…) 
We’re quite curious how it will be for him. Jacob is an only child, and hasn’t been as much around other kids yet as some of the other children who will start there, I think. However, the times which he did spend with/around other (older) kids he always had a great time.
On Monday I get to accompany him to school, on Tuesday his mommy. And after that he’s basically on his own, for 3 days/week. Well, not really on his own, of course, but without his parents…
