First Day

8am Will has his (empty) back-pack on and is ready to go.
8:01am I have convinced Will that we are just doing the school run and Kindy doesn't start till lunch time.
8:40am Is it time to go to Kindy yet?
9am Can we make my lunch for Kindy now?
10am we look through his Kindy folder and read the guidelines and learn about the teachers. Minor melt down on learning that Panda is not really welcome at kindy.

11am We make lunch together. Get a drink. Put names on everything including clothes, hat and sandals. Pack bag.
11:15am It's too early to leave yet so I tell Will we have to have tidy-up time before we go to kindy! (Stroke of brilliance- not just house to self but TIDY house to self!!)
11:27 Sandals on.

11:28 Photos in the driveway.
11:29 Walk to Kindy
11:30 Arrive Kindy. "Oh my I want to paint! I want to do tools! I want to...."
11:31 "Actually I don't like lunch"

11:32 Sitting down eating lunch.

11:40 Take Will to show him the 'little' toilets hoping this will encourage toilet training. He washes his hands.
11:41 Show Will where to put his lunch box, sign in and put his name up.
11:44 Will is using the tools and paint.

 

 

12:00 "When are you going mum?"
12:17 Feeding the chickens and checking for eggs (none today)
12:20 "Are you going now mum?"

12:22 Painting a picture

12:26 Some water play.

12:29 Back at the tool table.
12:30 W:"You can go now mum!"
Me: Can I have a kiss?
W: No.
Me: Ok bye then
W: You can come back when you have had your lunch and get Will.
Me: Ok then thanks.

While I was away he continued with the sawing and the painting. I also heard that he spent some time in the sandpit, playing with some magnets and dressing up as a Doctor and using the stethoscope.

2:05 Tidy Up time. I helped a very smurf like son to wash his hands and felt paranoid as I had literally just walked in and still had camera in hand- luckily there were no kids in the loo!

2:15 Mat time. Will enjoyed the Elephant song and joined in with some time delayed type manner:
Kids: 4 little elephants balancing step by step
W: 4 little elephants
Kids: On a piece of string
W: Balancing step by step.
2:20 Teacher Trudi is reading a story. Will has crept from the back of the mat to the front and then onto the log with the teacher.
2:25 Over the log and into some dirt/mud and found a plastic ladle.
2:26 Banging the ladle on the shade sail pole.
2:27 Heading for worm farm. Redirected to mat by mum. Stops to look at Doves.
2:30 On the mat singing the good bye song... kindy finishes.
2:31 Putting on sandals and finding today's painting.
2:35 Heading out the gate unhappily with a list of things to do 'first' tomorrow.

2:40 On the grass outside of Kindy. "Will's legs are broken Mum."

2:50 Finally make it home having flown the painting like a kite, stopped to pick up a feather and various other stuff.
