Ryder has gotten really settled into the school routine this month. He goes in for breakfast once a week and gets school lunch once a week. I bring him in early on Mondays, and that is muffin day, so Ryder is thrilled to be getting breakfast even if he has to go in a little early. I let him order school lunch once a week also and so far cheeseburger is his choice. He seems to really like it and he loves the potato chips that come with it! Since he was pretty nervous to start, I'm glad that he is settling in well and seems to enjoy school so far.
In the mornings before school the kids have time out on the playground to play when there is good weather and Ryder and a couple of other Kindergartners like to join, or crash, the basketball games that the older kids play. Ryder is pretty bummed that some of the older kids don't like the little kids playing with them and won't pass it to him, but he still gives it a try each morning. Sometimes he does get his hands on the ball, and he is quite proud when he gets home.
This month Ryder started getting homework from school. He has a packet with a worksheet for each night. The first week, it was kind of exciting, but after the first couple of days, Ryder was annoyed by it. And so begins 13 years of coercing hi to do homework! He finds it pretty easy and it doesn't take him long, so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue.
We had a lot of Halloween events this month: Trunk or Treat at school, City Hall's Halloween party, the school Halloween parade and of course, trick or treating. Ryder told me in September that he wanted to be a Roman soldier for Halloween, so I order him some fabric and some accessories to go with it. I made the costume and got him some peach PJ's to wear under it, since Halloween is usually cold, but then he decided he didn't want to wear it to the school or city functions. He went with firefighter, which was great since we already had the suit, I just got him new rain boots to go with it. I was really worried that he wasn't going to wear the costume I made on Halloween, but he did and he got tons of compliments on it, I'm guessing since it was out of the ordinary! He got a huge haul of candy and had a great time trick or treating, so it was all good.
Being a scary skeleton!
