This afternoon I brought Wyatt to his kindergarten registration. It was scheduled by the school for the the date and time without any input from me. So I was suprised to find out that Wyatt had to be there a mere 6 days after his surgery in the middle of nap time. This required John to leave work to stay home with the other napping boys. Great timing all around!
I had to bring a suitcase of documentation for Wyatt to be able to start kindergarten in the fall.... including proof of residency information (2 separate forms) , a birth certificate for Wyatt, and his current vaccine history. I also had to fill out a slew of forms about Wyatt and his skills and habits.
Then Wyatt had to participate in some testing at the school to determine his level of readiness for kindergarten... numbers, letters, gross motor skills, language, and vision and hearing screenings. Despite the post-surgical situation and nap time issue, I expected this part to go very smoothly. What I didn't expect was for my 5 year old to walk into the testing room and start CRYING and sobbing! Holy cow! It took a solid 5 minutes for Wyatt to pull it together and meet with the required people!
Now I am thinking that I should have marked "yes" on the form that says does your child suffer from separation anxiety.... cuz I guess that he does!
As we left Wyatt and I had a little talk about school. He reiterated his position again to me about how he doesn't want to ride the school bus. He wants me to drive him to school. Then lost his mind when I told him that school was going to be 5 days a week instead of 3!
"What? I have to go to school EVERY DAY and Jonah and Sam don't???!?!?!?!?!"
"That is NOT fair!!!!!!"
"Why do I always have to do everything around here?"
He is just such a barrel of fun and joy this week. Between the mood swings and whining I can barely see the light at the end of the tunnel! I might start taking his Tylenol with codeine if Wyatt doesn't turn the corner soon!
