Kindergarten

My smart-aleck kid.

Soen started kindergarten yesterday. We were a little worried that it would be a tough transition for him. Not only is it a new school, but none of his friends from his pre-school were going to be there. And so of course, when he got there, he basically told his mother to scram.

In short, he loves it. He told Wife that he wants to go there every day. And he said it just like he said "Daddy I'm starting to WIIIIIIIN!!!" in the air hockey video below.

Here he is showing off his new Speed Racer lunch box. We thought we were being cool, but of course every kid showed up with their brand new lunch box, too. Luckily only one other kid had a Speed Racer one.

It's funny how excited kids get about some things. Like this lunch box, for example. The dude wouldn't let it out of his grasp. He took it to the pool and wanted a snack--not because he was hungry, but because he wanted to use the hidden compartment in the bottom. I can't say I blame him. It's pretty cool. I still remember my Evel Knievel and Space 1999 lunch boxes. And they didn't even have a secret compartment.
