Kyle's back to school

Once again, I'm a little late with things, but it seems I am slowly making chronological progress and will soon give up on catching up and just live in the current moment.

Here is Kyle off to school - his first day of Kindergarten - sort of. It's his first day of kindergarten in the US. He completed a year of kindergarten in Italy because they start there at 4 yrs old. Now he's 5 and starting Kindergarten all over again - and he's totally excited about it! He is in half days. We were not initially thrilled about afternoons but once our schedule got readjusted we felt threatened when they announced they were adding another morning class and we could be switched. Thankfully Kyle is still in afternoons.

Kyle is thoroughly enjoying Mrs. Fogg's class and practically runs to school everyday. It's worked out especially well that most of the kids in our neighbourhood are in his class and we walk home with one of his classmates and his little sister who is the same age as Vika. It helps that there is a park that we have to pass on the way home so the kids can usually get some time to burn off some energy.

Vika still misses Kyle fiercely everyday and can't wait to get her hugs from him when he is let out of school.

I can't believe my little guy has turned into such a handsome, smart and humourous kindergartener already!
