First week of kindergarten

We survived the first week of kindergarten! Kai had said he was "a little bit shy" about starting kindergarten, but on the actual first day of school he was excited and ready to go, he ate his breakfast faster than I'd ever seen him eat it before.

Timothy from Agape is in Kai's class. Micah and Jo Jo are also at Noble!

Kai was able to meet his teacher and see his kindergarten classroom the week before class started.

Before the first day of school, Kai and Sora met and played with Nora, one of Kai's classmates

The weekend before the first day of school, we also visited Noble with the Ngs to get the kids excited for the new school year. It was nice to have Sophie and Brandon show Kai the ropes.

We've adjusted our bedtime to an hour earlier to accommodate the fact that we need to wake the kids up at 6:30 am to have enough time to eat breakfast and get ready for school. Kai usually passes out at bedtime, but Sora (who still naps at preschool) fights bedtime and will stay up for at least 45 minutes after we say goodnight. Dropping Kai off in the mornings can be a bit chaotic, since if one of us is working, it means unloading all three kids to walk Kai to his classroom in the morning.

Feeling a little bit guilty about Sora remaining at preschool full-time while Kai is on half days at kindergarten, I've been taking Sora to the playground to play a little before I drop her off for the past few mornings. Needless to say, she loves the special treatment (gotta make sure she doesn't get middle child syndrome!).

Speaking of kindergarten half days, we weren't sure what to do with Kai for the first week of school. We thought we would try to keep him home, but after a week of having him at home (and having Kai complain that he's bored at home and that he wants Teacher Bea to pick him up), Nik and I have thrown in the towel and we're starting Kai in part-time afterschool care next week. We're weak.

Kai said he wanted to surprise Sora when she got home from preschool <3

Kai: "This, Jaddy, is a cookie." More time at home means taking my boys out on errands
