So this year is my oldest son starts kindergarten. I have been worried all summer that he will behave and not get kicked out. You see, he is a handful. When I was pregnant with his brother, I was depressed most of the pregnancy. I did not want another child like him. Oh don't get me wrong, he is a sweet and loving kid but he is strong-willed, defiant and very, very energetic. Cried and hardly slept through the first 4 years of life. He had totally worn me out by the age of three. There have been plenty of times people have asked me, "have you had him checked out by the doctor for ADD/AHDD?" my response "no". The energizer bunny wouldn't go to bed until 10 p.m. then he would get up at 3 or 4 a.m. and he would go, go, go all day long. I was/am tired. So I was/am anxious about him starting school had having to sit and listen most of the day. When he was 4 I got his bright idea to homeschool preschool to help him get ready for kindergarten and have that school structure already instilled. Did not work out as I planned. He really enjoyed it for only about 10 minutes a day. I personally thought I should have got the kindergarten curriculum because the preschool just seemed to easy. He would get bored and want to do something else.
Present Day- Day 10 of Kindergarten. So far, so good. No phone calls from the school and he comes home totally exhausted. Every morning he asks me every five minutes, "is it time for school?" He seems to really enjoy it and I will keep praying I don't get a call from the principal.
