Kindergarten

I haven't posted about this yet, because I wasn't sure what I wanted to say about Ethan going into Kindergarten. It has definitely been a change. He started last week and was so excited! We had been counting down the days for over a month. He loved shopping for school and getting all of his things ready.


Ethan on his first day of school. It was kind of crazy and I didn't really get to say goodbye, but he seemed to handle it all really well. We just had to leave them in their line and their teachers took them into the school. So sad for Mom. We did get to see his classroom at "Meet the Teacher" night, though. We had time before school started for Ethan to find all his friends.


Ethan with his cousin Toa, who is also in his class. They were so excited to be together. The leis are for all the kids to make sure they are in the right class. Ethan's class was pink. Ethan wasn't crazy about that. He tried to give his lei to Caitlin a couple of times before school started.


Ethan with his friends, Tyler and Tate. They are not in his class, but he has fun with them at recess.

We're so proud of Ethan. He's doing well and his teacher mentioned how sweet she thinks he is. He did get a reprimand last week, though. He was blowing in someone's face. Unfortunately, I think I taught him that. So, we talked about how some things are funny at home, but not so funny at school. I miss having Ethan here, but he always says he misses me too. So that makes me feel a little better. We don't seem any less busy, but we definitely have less fighting. The girls are having fun playing together. We have my niece over a lot, so we aren't getting too used to just two kids at home. I know January will be here before we know it.
