@bolestansvet Mine loves snack plates! But he resists changing the content of the snack plate so it’s been crackers, cheese and a fruit pouch I feel like...it’s one of each food group so it’s not that bad

@kitsoni Honestly this is how most of China lives. When we first moved to Canada our neighbor’s 6 year old was going to bed around 7pm and she made a big deal about how we were too loud starting around 7. (For the record she complained we closed doors too loudly and we couldn’t figure out...

@looploop Our teacher has been telling us that they will reteach all the kinder material in first grade so we shouldn’t stress too much. But then again I kind of want to set the precedent that if there is homework he should do it. It is kind of frustrating, I have a feeling that even one more...
