I'm ready for Paxton to start Kindergarten....I think. When filling out the "parent input" form, asking for certain characteristics of your child that might match well with certain teachers, I wrote that Paxton is nervous and shy, easily intimidated, likes physical activity, and that he hasn't showed much interest in academics and can be easily distracted. All very true statements. I'm hoping for a kind, patient, not very strict teacher, and would be thrilled with Mrs. Maudal (Hudson's teacher) again!
Of course everyday since the open house, Paxton has asked when he starts kindergarten. How many more days of daycare he has left, how many more days of preschool he has left, and he teeter totters on whether or not he wants to go to kindergarten. I think he likes the idea of it, trying something new, but he knows himself well enough to know that school, sitting quietly and learning, just isn't really his thing. But he'll make friends, and it'll take him months to remember their names. I will ask him what he did in school everyday, and he'll rarely remember and be able to tell me anything. He will hurry through work but still learn a lot. And he might even get in trouble sometimes, most likely from not listening or being a little too wild during down time. It will be a much different experience than having Hudson in school. Paxton is a much different kid. And I love him, and he's ready.
