Kindergarden Exprience Night

We had kindergarten experience night.  It was at the school from 6-8 pm.  Austin was really excited. He dressed himself in a nice yellow polo shirt and blue pants. It just so happens to be the school colors.  We started the night off in the gym.  The kids ran around before it started.  It was cool because 3 other of his friends from preschool were there.  Austin has really come out of his shell.  He was completely fine running around with his friends and didn not mind what we were doing.  It was nice to talk with other parents.  Then the split us up into groups and we had a schedule for the night.

Our next stop was the cafeteria.  We learned about how the kids can buy lunch.  If Austin would buy lunch everyday, it's close to $50 a month.  I am going to have to figure out how to pack a hot lunch.  I heard about thermos.  Then we went to music class.  Austin got to play a game.  We checked out the library.  He will be able to check out 1 book a week there.  (Right now we check out about 30 books a week for our library).  We went to art class next, he got to make a necklace out of pasta.  He did a good job threading the pasta on the yarn.  We went to computer class.  Austin learned about excel and making graphs showing everyone's favorite color.  Then he got to do gym class.  All the classes were about 15 minutes long.  Then Austin went to a kindergarten classroom while they talked with us about kindergarten screening.  He enjoyed his classroom and his teacher.  We really hope he gets that teacher.  We were so happy they had kindergarten experience night.  We really enjoyed it.  I am excited for him.

Sydney been excited for her birthday since Austin's birthday.  Recently she asked if she would get married first or her birthday first.  For the first time, we said her birthday was before something. Sydney is curious who she will marry.  She thinks she is going to marry

We went to Cavs game that gave away Moondog and Sir CC puppets.  Austin wanted Moondog and Sydney got Sir CC.  They had fun with their puppets and having them sing during a time out.  The kids do a great job at the Cavs games.  We watched the entire game. We go at half time to get hair painted and tattoo.  Sydney loves getting her hair painted.  Sydney loves to eat snacks at the game.  Austin doesn't need the snacks as much.  He is more interested in the game.  We all enjoyed the game.

Since basketball is over, we signed Austin up for karate.  We wanted him to try it and see if he likes it.  It's interesting because depending on when we go, there may be adults in his class.  And all classes have different colored belts.  And the black belts team up with white belts to teach them things.  Austin follows right along and does well.  He says he likes it but likes basketball and soccer more.  He really likes when he can play dodge ball at the end of class.  The one thing I don't like about karate is they never explained why he can hit and kick people in karate but not in regular life.  He has recently starting to hit and kick Syndey.  Not completely sure it's related but believe it is at least a little bit.
