It has not been good.
Eldest is bored. He's bored at school. He's bored at home in the afternoons when there is no one else in the neighborhood to play with while his 2 brothers are napping.
I try. We play on the computer (a mother can only take so much of Hotwheels.com, though I do enjoy decorating rooms on Webkinz). We play games--Scrabble Junior, Sorry, Zingo, Uno. He watches the Sandlot, or Over the Hedge, or Open Season ad nauseum while I

In our district, Ben's class was the first ever to attend full-day kindergarten.

YAY!!!!!
Oh Yay! That is wonderful. It's so rare that we get our wishes answered like this.

I am so 100% in support of full day K. Half day allows basically no time to get anything substantial done.
