Sweet Kids

The K Man has been going to youchien. It is quite fun to walk him to and from school. We had a teacher meeting last week and she said she sees improvement in him. The first few days he simply sat on a bench and observed the other kids playing. But now he is playing with the others and making friends. I love watching him go in, carrying his backpack and earthquake hat, taking off his outdoor shoes and putting on his indoor shoes, all by himself. He is growing up and it is hard to believe we celebrate his fourth birthday this coming Saturday! Miss M continues to finish up homeschool for kindergarten. Her reading is beyond kindy level so after the difficult birth with Jun, we took a decent break from homeschool. We started back up recently focusing on math, handwriting and some reading together. We should finish by mid-June and she wants to celebrate with a trip to Disney, naturally. I plan to start first grade in July and school year round and take breaks when the K man is on break from youchien. I really like the idea of year round school, at least for me as the teacher, because I do better with shorter breaks more often than a long time break at Christmas and summer. The J Man, sweet baby, is already 8 weeks old! He is such an easy baby and I am so grateful to God for that. Last night he slept from 11:30-5:15...such a blessing for me to get a good stretch of sleep. He literally only cries when he is hungry or tired or has a dirty diaper. Other than that, he is not very fussy or high maintenance. He is starting to smile more and show facial expressions, which is fun for the big kids. They love their little baby brother. The K Man loves to kiss him and hug him and Miss M loves to rock him to sleep. With three littles, the days can be long...but the years are short. Thank you Lord for these children you have entrusted to us...may we be good stewards of the gifts you have given us and show them your ways.
