Kindergarten and princesses

I get to register my little prince for kindergarten today! Right after I get my allergy shot I get to load up the documentation and take him to a nearby school to get his hearing and vision checked. Since his birthday is after Sept 1 they'll also do a readiness screening on him. I know he knows all the shapes and colors and numbers and whatever else they mentioned they'd be checking, but I'm nervous that he won't show them he knows it and they'll tell me he can't go till next year! Tell me it's unreasonable!

He's on antibiotics for an ear infection and bronchitis and had a couple little accidents yesterday because of them so instead of going through his entire supply of underpants I put him in one of his daddy's T-shirts to make it easier to use the bathroom and still stay covered. He loved it! It came all the way down to the floor so he twirled around and said "look at me, I'm Cinderella!" I laughed. I texted my sil who told me her daughter probably made him play princesses with her at some point. I asked him about it and he said "ok, I"m a princess" and gave me a big cheesy grin. We're just waiting for him to make his cousin play spiderman or something now!

Kindergarten

I went to Kindergarten orientation last night. I found out there are a ton of forms to be completed, along wtih records to be copied, etc. This year the district is going to full day kindergarten. They didn't mention that till someone asked about it as people were starting to leave! It was kind of annoying. So I have a lot of papers to fill out before next Tuesday. I can't believe the load of stuff they want my 5 year old (when school starts) to know before even entering K! They want him to fasten his own clothes, tie his own shoes, write his name, know his colors, know his shapes, count to 10, count 5 objects...now some of this is basic stuff, really and I know that, but I have been trying to get him to write his name (he can spell it) and I'm really not making any progress. He may not be going to the school that's only a half mile or so away either. The speech therapist works at a different school so he may be bussed over there instead. Oh, we got to hear the head of transportation talk about how he never loses kindergartners! It was a funny speech with an example of how one was misplaced last year for an hour because the kid switched name tags with someone else and got put on the wrong bus!

I'm just really excited for next year to start and this year isn't even over yet!

spring break

Today is the last day of spring break for my little prince. I'll miss him when he goes back to school tomorrow but I can't pretend not to be at least a little relieved lol! I'll be glad not to hear pop goes the weasel every five minutes. Well, I'd probably miss that too.

He went up to the sprint store with me today to see if they could fix my phone. It's got the vapors ;-) I just backed up my files on the computer because I want to see if I can reset it to fix the problem, but don't want to lose my contacts.
