Is today the 100th day of school already?

I don't think we remembered in time. 100 days a kindergartener is quite an accomplishment. He is reading and writing and getting into the family jokes. He is reasoning with the brothers and sisters on the level of his mental ability and it is very interesting the things that strike my fellow's fancy. Today it was the issue of cheating. It seems that the older children have been accusing him of cheating in races and that must be an issue in school of late, because this morning Ethan cheated when he jumped over a step on the way down to the breakfast table. I just accepted it and corrected Ethan, for Ezra's sake, not to jump over the steps to get to the breakfast table. I can see the safety issue in school, having to have led a number of kindergartners up and down steps in safety is a large task. So we will have that new rule for Ezra on the 100th day of school. I did tell him that there are times when time is of the essence and jumping the stairs may be good, but for now, safety rules because you're in kindergarten.
