3 year old kinder in 2013 - who else is going?

DD starts her full 2 1/2 hr day tomorrow, but so far she loves it so much so that when we get there she tells me it's time to leave :)

Also she has made friends already and has a 'best friend' and her teachers have already commented that she is very loud and doesn't stop talking when she is there and is very sociable. By the time pick up comes on her 2 days a week the teachers will be happy for her to leave so they can have some peace and quiet lol...

To be honest I think DD would be more than happy to go more than the 2 mornings a week she will go. At least it seems she will enjoy her school time - even if it is for her social life more than her education :)

Great guns here. A few tears at the first two sessions which were only 1 hour 15 mins. No tears at the two, two hour sessions last week so I'm not expecting any now that we are up to 3 hours this week.

He seems to enjoy it and we haven't had any toilet accidents, which I was kinda expecting.

The two kids that turned up in nappies for the orientation seasons haven't been back yet.

DD is loving it too. First 3 hour session tomorrow morning. I reckon she will be tired after that. Hope she either sleeps straight away, or powers through and goes to bed early.

Friday is an arvo session, i hope that means i get an early night friday!

We have had a couple of wet nickers. First time, she got stuck getting her pants off. Second time, she was helping friend to wash her hands, and i think the running water triggered wees. She hasn't had an accident at home for a few weeks, so hopefully she will remember to go earlier at kinder soon too. The teachers have been fine.

I am so looking forward to tomorrow, and a couple hours break! i think i am going to attempt to clean out the study.

DD is loving it and is really looking forward to going for 3hrs tomorrow.
Have a feeling my DD was being helped by HotI's when the accident occurred... Not surprising as DD loves playing in water & would have been taking ages.
No accidents yet but will see about the concentration level after 3hrs!

My Dd. is also in 3yo. She is one of the oldest as she is about to turn 4. She knows at least 5 kids in the group as well as the teachers as she used to go when I dropped DS. She is not phased whatsoever about being left without me. I think the teacher will have more trouble trying to keep her from interrupting. She is very confident. So different to DS, who cried for at least a few weeks!

Moo is having his first full 3 hour session tomorrow, he goes in the arvo so will be pooped! Last week he got stuck into the trains straight away, I said I was going to go if that was ok...he said fine but I could leave Buster LOL! Happy for me to leave but not his 1 year old brother!

How much food are your little ones taking?

lol at moo asking you to leave buster! :lol:

our sessions are 2.5 hours and both in the arvo so ds has been really tired.

I'm sending 2 snacks, mostly so ds had some choice. something like yoghurt and a few carrot sticks or some watermelon or other fruit. most of the time one snack comes home.

ds has barely noticed when I've been leaving - too busy playing or getting ready to go outside.

I'm doing duty on 1 march :)

DD has come up with some awesome songs lately with lots of talk about her friends. "All my friends are going to kinder, all my friends are going to kinder....." "All my friends have all gone home, oh no. All my friends have all gone home, oh no....." Lots of singing and talking, which is lovely.

Also, two long sessions and no wee accidents so i think she will be fine now. Think she just had to remember that she still had to go amid all the excitement.
