Keeping kid home from school with new baby arriving

I'd keep his usual routine and let him enjoy the baby when he's at home x
I would keep having him go, by then he will be still getting used to his schedule and taking him out could possibly cause some issues
Personally, I'd want fewer kids to care for and stuff going on in the house while tending to a newborn. The structure and routine of school would probably also be reassuring for your son while things are changing at home. But if you want to have everyone around, I say do it and don't feel bad about it at all. School can wait. Even if it weren't just kindergarten, this is a once in a lifetime event! Remember, he'll be home the week of Thanksgiving, so depending on when baby comes, school may be off anyway. Congrats on expanding your family! 💐
@Bonny you know what you’re right, he might actually be home for thanksgiving break anyway. I’m due the 19th but I always go a week+ over so if anything I’ll just pull him out early by a few days if need be or just extend the break. I want my daughter and son to meet her together. And I’m not worried about having both home at the same time with a newborn, I’ll have lots of help! 💕
I wouldn't.. when I had my boy and was in the hospital, my daughter went to school, and she was 5.. ya, she was excited and wanted to just touch and stare at him, saying how cute lol school was better for her with us trying to rest.. but if you want your child home, do it is only 1 week, but remember you also have the 3-year-old as well with a newborn
