Kindergarten!!!
7:47 PM Edit This 3 Comments »Conversation Two Nights Before Kindergarten:
Mom: Sergio tomorrow when you wake up, you will go to Aba’s (his Paternal Grandma) for the day. Then when you go to sleep tomorrow, you will wake up and go to kindergarten!!! You will be a kindergartner!! And you will be (Mom getting choked up) the cutest kindergartner in the whole class!
SVZ: Mom, I farted.
The morning of kindergarten went smooth. We got dressed, ate breakfast and wet down messy hair! New backpack on, it was time to go outside and pose for pictures. Sergio was in rare form with poses that looked like he was in the Madonna Strike a Pose video!
During the ride to school I reminded him of his manners, to listen to his teacher, keep his hands to himself, etc.
We parked at the school and I walked Sergio into his classroom. The school only allows this for the first week. The teacher was waiting for the children and told them, ‘Place your backpacks on this table and then sit at another table with an activity on it and play with that activity.’ (There were tables with puzzles, legos, etc.) Sergio put his backpack down on the correct table and then promptly marched up to the teacher and said, ‘I don’t want to play with the things on the table!’ The teacher bent down to his level and I counted at least five, Sergio look at me’s, until he finally did look at her, and she repeated her initial instructions.
Sergio wasn’t upset when I left, after all, he has been going to some kind of day care for a few years.
I have such great hopes and wishes for him that he will strive in the kindergarten setting this year and grow by leaps and bounds in all ways possible.

Sounds like he has a teacher that knows how to take control immediately. I'm sure he survived and hope his mom is relaxing after an emotional day.
LOL with his comment before bed. They take this all in strides and we are the ones with all the tears!!!!
We hope and pray that he grows also.
