Update on the Kindy Kids!

So here's a bit of a photo update on my kindergarten kids...they are the 2nd row from the camera. There are 10 of them, 5 boys (Sean, Jay, Eric, Justin and Daniel) and 5 girls (Sandy, Becky, Chloe, Aran and Melody): they are Jupiter Class. We had welcome day for the kids today so there was a small assembly with the boss to talk about the rules and introduce them to the school without their mommies. That lasted about an hour and then they were all mine! There are currently 80 kindergarten children in our school in the mornings, that's a lot of screaming and yelling at playtime I'll tell you now! Happily, at the end of kindergarten I can say without exaggeration: I already love my kids. I have some photos attached for the ones I managed to catch today... the others I'll get soon enough. One of our blocks was in the playroom, so that's where the photos are from.

**You'll notice that I've edited my kid pictures... there were a lot of distractions in the photos, so I wanted to focus more on the kids themselves... enjoy!
