On Tuesday, we took Kumi to her new school, Macy Elementary in La Habra.  I know she was a bit nervous about the new surroundings and the size of the school.  There were hundreds of kids in the playground all wearing their new backpacks and shiny new shoes.  We met her new teacher for the first time, helped her settle into her classroom and then said goodbye.

On the second day, Mika took her to school in the morning and Kumi asked her not to get out of the car to walk her into the school.  She wanted to go in by herself.  She already had friends she wanted to wait with and she didn't want mommy hanging around.  That was fast.  I guess Lumbini trained her well.

One thing I thought was funny was she told us that in the afternoon, they had a time to go to the restroom called PE.  I said what?  For PE time, everyone went to the restroom and then they did an activity outside.  I had to hold back the laughter and said "No Kumi, PE is the activity that you do outside.  It's called Physical Education... P. E.  "No" she said,  it was PE like in PEE.  Oh well, can't win.

Book fair, picture day, carnival, teacher conferences are all coming up.  It's the big time for Kumi, and she thrives.

Kumi is attending her last day at Lumbini Child Development Center today.  I'm going to go pick her up and help her clean out her stuff in a few minutes.  It seems only a short time ago that I wrote about her first day of preschool.  Scroll to the bottom of the page and read up.

Last Sunday, she graduated from Kindergarten.  Kumi is the one in the middle next to the girl doing the Batman dance.

She starts first grade at Macy Elementary in La Habra this fall.  Where did the time go?

Ha!  Daily journal huh?

Well anyways, an update:  I picked up the Civic from the body shop and it is all fixed.  Other driver changed his story and now the entire claim is in arbitration...

I dropped off Kumi for her last day (kind of) of kindergarten before her graduation on Sunday.  I say kind of because she'll be back at Lumbini on Monday and Tuesday to finish out the month before saying goodbye to Kindergarten.

Kumi is on Youtube now.  Search for Kumishow.  Her cousin Weston (thewestonian on Youtube) is producing a video series which she will host.  Right now it's just video clips but stay tuned...

It's been a bad week for celebrity deaths with Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson passing away and now we hear that newsman Walter Cronkite is also near death.  Very sad.

Heading for the weekend.  See you on the other side...
