Um, am I the only that is totally confused as to why CBB is already referring to Pax as Pax Jolie-Pitt? I mean, right now, his name is Pax JOLIE! At the time of this post, there hadn’t even been an official annoucement that Brad and Angie were indeed going to change his name to Jolie-Pitt. Now, of course that has been announced. However, I have noticed some other recent CBB articials (I cannot remember the specific ones right now) that, like this one, referred to him as Pax Jolie-Pitt. I mean, yeah, now we do know that, as of May 31, that will be his name. However, it is not his name yet, so he should still rightfull be called Pax JOLIE!

I agree with everything you said a 100% Kat. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Sometimes they start it early because some daycares offer preschool programs.

It can also help with potty-training (note Zahara’s diaper… she’s almost old enough to think about PT) because peer pressure helps.

For Pax, he has to learn English… submerging him in it by putting him daycare would really help with that and it may be that they have him and Zahara together so he won’t be alone… he’ll have his sister.

we cant please everyones brain….ouch!

Amy – I see your point but since none of us know how much or how little time Pax spends in a day care setting or how well he’s adjusting to his new family, I don’t see how anyone can judge his parents based on one picture. I guess my point is his parents are doing what they think is best for their children. We, the public whether we agree with their choices or not are just back seat drivers.

The issue I see with the daycare doesn’t relate to any child going to daycare but rather a newly adopted older child who came from an orphanage. The prevailing wisdom with older child adoption is that it is important for the child to have time in the home with their parents to establish the parents as primary caregivers. This creates a healthy attachment, which children living in orphanages may not have had.

JM- I respectfully disagree with the “we never see Shiloh” comment. Check out the most recents pictures from New Orleans. There are pics of Shiloh without her siblings but with her parents, pictures of Shiloh with Maddox and Grandma, pictures of Shiloh and Zahara with their parents, pictures of Shiloh with just her father on the movie set and pictures of Shiloh and Zahara with their Grandma. The Jolie-Pitt child the public hasn’t seen much of lately is Maddox.

This is the first time we’ve seen Pax since they left Vietnam and the pictures were snapped by paparazzi. I doubt his parents wanted his picture taken. This is no different than the paparazzi pictures taken of Shiloh when the family was in India. The paparazzi gotlucky is all.

Oh and to answer your question about the day care. My understanding (someone please correct me if I’m wrong) is that Brad is shooting scenes for his latest movie (the one also filmed in New Orleans) in LA. Since they’ve been together the family follows the parent who’s working.

Janice, YOU ROCK! Couldn’t say it any better!

Alot of kids go to daycare and the interaction they get from being with other kids is healthy and for Pax he left an orphanage with lots of children so for him maybe having lots of kids around is his comfort zone.

However there is one photo where PAX looks scared to death from the paparazzi. I kind of feel though that he shouldn’t be thrust into the limelight so soon until he adjust. We never see Shiloh so why not leave PAX at home too for awhile. I notice the pics were taken in L.A. but they live in N.Orleans…so are they dropping kids off to random daycare centers?? And by the way where has Maddox been? I rarely see his sweet face.

Angie and Brad are such good parents, they are doing the right thing in taking Pax and Zahara to preschool so they can interact with other kids. Maddox is probably at school and Shiloh is still a baby.. too young to play with. How can anyone complain about this? Smart move. Lucky kids!
