Kindergarten

So we have finished our first full week of kindergarten. Samuel had a good week overall. He's been great at getting up and going, but is pretty worn out in the evenings. He had a hard time mid week when he realized he had to go all day again (the first two days were half days) and even tried to fake a cough, but pulled himself together. We don't get too many details out of him at the end of the day, but are slowly finding things out as he gets in the mood to share. He usually tells us "I don't remember" when we ask what he did that day, but as something triggers his memory he will go on and on about it. He says his favorite parts are when they go to PE, Recess, and the library. We are excited about this year and I'm glad there are lots of opportunities for me to help out! It's a lot different being on the parent side of the school system. 






The school year has meant some shifts in our sleep schedule. Which means bed at 7, up at 6:45, and Emma's nap has had to be cut back to accommodate pick up. This day I carried her sleeping to the stroller and she continued to sleep most of the walk to get him. It's taking some adjusting for all of us. I mean I actually have to set an alarm again. :)
 Samuel is so sleepy in the afternoons and he napped for almost 4 hours on Saturday, but he has done fairly well for a kid who napped every few days up until last week.

Wow! So proud of this buddy and of Emma with all these adjustments. He really looks like a little man and a young boy and not such a little guy anymore. So fun to see him grow up and we all know he is so ready for school-a great learner, that sam! Prayers for the year for all of you!
