Kian: Hey Ate, do you know how I know I like sports?
Kira: How?
Kian: Because I like Dick’s.
Kira: 😐
Daddy: 😐

Kian: Because they have soccer stuff, baseball stuff, shoes, basketball stuff…

Today was the end of year party for first grade and I had the opportunity to attend. Kian’s friends had a few things to say about Him.

Kid 1: Kian laughs all the time.

Kid 2: He just laughs and laughs.

Kid 3: Kian is so funny he makes everyone laugh.

Kid 4: Kian is always laughing.

Kid 5: Kian is always joking and laughing.

On the way home from Taekwondo I didn’t have any music playing in the car, so naturally, Kian started singing his own songs.

Daddy: Do you know why you’re probably one of the coolest kids I’ve ever met?
Kian: Why?
Daddy: Because when there’s no music, you make your own.
Kian: Huh???
Daddy: You’ll understand that when you’re older.

Keep making your own music, Kian.

Laying on the couch during movie night…

Kian: You look skinnier from this angle.
Daddy: Thanks Kian. 😐

Kian: Hey daddy, do you know how I know I’ve been working out and exercising?

Me: How?

Kian: Because all the sudden, THESE guys showed up.

Tomorrow will be the first day of in-person kindergarten and Kian is super excited to meet his teacher and friends in person. He’s also excited to have a big sister in the same school.

Daddy: Make sure you show your teacher how smart you are ok?

Kian: I will. I’m gonna be so cool! 😁

Daddy: Ok. But first make sure you show them how smart you are. 😂

Friday’s mean asynchronous learning and playtime with Kian’s Kindergarten friends. The class logs into Teams, each student picks a few things to play with and “share” with the class, then for the next 30 minutes anything goes.

Kian: Hey Richie, guess what?
Richie: What?
Kian: Chicken butt.
Richie: Huh?
Kian: Chicken butt.
Richie: HUH???
Kian: Richie, guess what?
Richie: What?
Kian: Chicken butt.
Richie: HUH???
Kian: (exasperated sight)… Nevermind. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Kian: I don’t have to get another flu shot, right Daddy?
Me: You do, you’ll get another when you’re 5.
Kian: I am 5.
Me: WHAT?!? Oh my gosh you’re right.
Kian: I look like I am 3, but I am actually 5.

Kian: Daddy look, I found a hole in my pants (pointing to crotch area).

Me: Uh oh, how’d that happen?

Kian: I don’t know, I must’ve been doing splits when I was sleeping.
