First Week of Kinder

You survived your first week of kindergarten :)

And you still like it.  Whew!

Grande's First Phrase

You can say "wo ai ni".  The teachers taught you this today before nap time.  Incredibly cute!!

First Day of Kindergarten

It's here, your first day of kindergarten.  You're a big girl now going to Dianne Feinstein Elementary School.  We packed your lunchbox, backpack, and got you to school at 7:50am.  Your teacher is Ms. Wong in Room 105.  There are 21 other kids in your class and at least you already know two of them.  At least you're not alone.  You are excited and ready for this new adventure.  Good luck, my little one.

Picked you up from school and you said it was a great day and you LOVED it.  We celebrated by going to the library and playing with your new Lego set with Unikitty, something you've been asking for since your birthday.

First Summer Camp

Mini - You finished your first summer camp today.  It was the SF Zoo camp, Mon-Fri, 9am-12pm, Paws and Patterns, Flamingo group.  It was a good thing your best friend Olivia K. was there because you would have quit after the second day.  But you learned about different animals and came home with a handmade craft each day.  I know you had fun even though you said it was boring and too much walking.  You even made a new friend, Olivia T.

Swim School Begins

Mini's first day of swim class at JCCSF.  She starts out as a Frog and gets a blue fish.

The first lesson almost ended after ten minutes because Mini got water into her nose when putting her head under.  At least she made it to an eight count (out of ten).  Then she cried and asked to leave the pool.  After a potty break and coaxing from the instructor, she returned to the water and it turned out to be fun.  They splashed, learned to fall into the water with the teacher bracing their body, back floating, and magic carpet rides.

Expectations are not high for this activity ;)  It will be slow going.
