K Man's First Field Trip

On Monday the K Man went on a field trip with his youchien. He had a great time. They went to a park with a huge field and loads of acorns. He returned with a zip lock bag full of acorns, leaves and twigs. He said his favorite part was riding the big bus, but he did not get to touch anything. :) It was so cute watching them leave the school, but the K Man barely looked at me. He had his "cool" face on, which made mama proud and sad all at the same time. I had a teacher conference this week with his teacher. She told me he is doing really well at youchien. He has a lot of friends, but particularly plays with three other boys a lot (their picture is below from our trick or treat today). He loves the singing part of the day and going outside. She said he plays outside for about a hour each day and loves to race and dance. He also likes to watch for his older friends when the elementary school comes out for recess (they share property and outdoor space for recess). She said he is speaking Japanese a lot and seems very comfortable. I am happy the youchien experience has been good for him. He seems to shine with people and is enjoying himself.
