Kindergarten was an easy transition for Max and us as he bonded with a majority of the boys in his class quickly- some boys he connects with because they "make me laugh." Others he bonded with through their athleticism; team oriented but also competitive nature (ie. they run around the track doing 2-4 laps nearly everyday and want to be top 3, yet he's ok with waiting for a friend who's lagging behind) first thing in the morning. He apparently also has a girlfriend, and he brought home a piece of paper with a drawing of a heart and his name on it hahaha! We've had no trouble waking up every day at an appropriate time, nor him finishing his same old lunch because he's just That hungry when at school. 

Christmas 2017

his relationship with Mikkel has been downright ideal. She can be quite impatient and demanding, but he just lets her essentially boss him around. he gets upset of course; but he seeks and is receptive to advice and guidance on how to deal with her "big feelings" because she's "still learning." he totally gets it! every now and then when Mikkel is away sleeping, or he just hasn't seen her he would say, "mom, Mikkel ___insert something that upset him that she did___, but it's ok. I love her." 

enjoy's going to school rain or shine
