Kindergarten

DS1 now readily and easily answers the questions "What grade are you in?" and "Where do you go to school?" without my help. Last August, when we did not enroll him in public school kindergarten, we talked a lot about the fact that we homeschool and that he doesn't go to school somewhere else. It really threw him (and me) when, after being asked his age, he was asked if he was "in kindergarten", and he did not know how to answer because he did not know what kindergarten meant. I had not thought to add that word to his vocabulary. It is much simpler now that he can answer. He is enjoying learning and playing at home and at our weekly co-op, and it floors me sometimes how much he is growing intellectually.
