Nick drops him off in the mornings. One of our close friends who has a son at the same school picks him up for carpool on Monday (a lifesaver!). He does aftercare on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, which I usually pick him up from (usually by or before 5). Then, on Fridays I pick him up from carpool! Our favorite new tradition is going out for yogurt, treats, or snow cones on Friday afternoons! It's like a treat for all of us for surviving the week!
That is a pretty hectic weekly schedule in and of itself, so we're going light on the activity schedule for at least a semester or so, while we're getting used to things.
He seems to enjoy Kindergarten for the most part. He's so tired, and everything is new, new school, new teacher, new friends. Thankfully, he found a little friend on the second or third day, which has made things a bit easier. I still wouldn't say he's excited about school, but we're getting there.
I will say the first day he had homework, I could almost say he was giddy.
But also very serious.
One thing he's not been excited about is aftercare. That has been a transition, but after emailing the teacher and talking with him at length, I am happy to report that it is getting better (probably helps that he finally made a few friends there too).
We love coming home and decompressing together after our long days!
If we're lucky, sometimes we might even catch the ice cream truck!
But most evenings, Z walks straight in plops down on the couch and turns Ultimate Spiderman on. It's hard being in Kindergarten....
Because there was no talk of parties or activities, there will now be a Part 3. I know, the suspense is killing you.
To be continued....
