Kindergarten Update

Audrey has finished 3 days of kindergarten and, by most of her accounts, is having a good time. She still says each night that she's not going back the next day, but all stories between the time we pick her up and bedtime are full of, "...and Mommy, do you know what else, ...."

She starts her day in English, then moves to Spanish, and then has her specials in the afternoon. Music, Library and PE are in English and Art and Science are in Spanish. On Tuesday, she followed directions well in art class and got to be the line leader to leave class, so she was happy about that.

I have asked her many questions about lunch. Today, she told me the cutest thing:

Audrey: Well, you know, I sit in the same seat at lunch every day and it's the perfect seat for me. It's on the corner of the table and no one else ever takes that seat so I sit there. The wall is painted black behind that seat.

Me: What makes it the perfect seat for you?

Audrey: Well, you know, it's on the corner. That means there's only one seat next to me. That way, in case a boy sits there, there's only room for one boy to sit next to me. If I sat somewhere else, maybe a boy would sit on both sides of me and, you know, boys might be crazy at the table, so this way only one boy can sit next to me.

Me: Did a boy sit next to you today?

Audrey: No, it was a girl. The same girl sat next to me every day. I guess that's the perfect seat for her.

Me: What do you talk about with her?

Audrey: We don't talk. We have to eat our lunch. We have a lot to eat and not much time. But we did go to the bathroom together in music today.

Me: Super. What's her name?

Audrey: I don't know.


While Audrey was getting the full interrogation after her first day on Tuesday from Iain and I, here is a little excerpt of what was going on with Kai and Avery.
