Quickie Questions: Back to School Edition

It's that time of the week again for Quickie Questions, where I ask y'all, my favorite readers, a simple (yet SUPER important) question to get us talking in the comments! Here's this week's question after the jump: 

What grade are your kids in this year? 

My oldest, Froot Loop, is in Kindergarten! KINDERGARTEN! He absolutely LOVES his teacher (he was pulled out for reading last year in Pre-K because he's already reading at a second grade level and he had her for that time) and he knows about half of his classmates. He's excited to finally get to go to music and art this year too! 

I'm so proud of this boy. He's growing up TOO FAST! 

Poor Cocoa Puff! He thought he was going to Pre-K this year with his brother. Sorry, dude... not only is your brother in KINDERGARTEN this year, but you can't go to pre-k yet! He was so mad at me when I took his brother to school, so I made him a sign to hold just like his brother's. When I told him what it said, he got the most pathetic and yet adorable pouty face so I just had to take a photo! Poor little guy... next year, buddy, next year! 

No worries though, he's been having fun playing with all his toys without big brother interfering. He's also been playing with the dogs. Lucky Charms is getting REALLY good at playing trains and dinosaurs, and he's even good at tea parties. It took a couple of weeks last year for him to adjust, so I'm hoping that will be the case this year. In the meantime, I'll start playing "school" with him. He already knows all his letters, shapes, colors, and numbers, so I'm going to start teaching him how to read and keep working on his prewriting skills and basic math. He's ready for Pre-K, but the school says not until he's 4 since he doesn't have any developmental delays or handicaps.
