Brandon had his pre-k screening today. I have to admit it was pretty cool to watch and see how your child reacts. Here they are brought into a room with a bunch of different kinds of toys....about 4 or 5 adults who are trying to play with them and ask them questions... it's kinda funny. Brandon and I had been talking about him going to "school" for a day so I had been working him up to the thought of playing with other kids and being a big boy. He did pretty well, at first he didn't really want to leave my side...even for all those toys. That didn't take long once mommy walked him over to some toy food and started showing him stuff, then I went back and sat down, and he was fine. It was hilarious though, because #1.. Brandon is funny, he's gotten to where he knows I ask him over and over "what is this?" or what color is this? so now, he's started asking me questions... he'll bring me a letter off the fridge and ask me "what's this?"; "what letter is this?"; "what color is this?". SO, of course ask one of the ladies what asking Brandon what something was, he asked her "what do you think it is?"...lol He finally warmed up some, and did great. There was one puzzle they did that had shapes, and the lady asked him what the shape was that he was putting in the puzzle... he had no problem with the circle, the triangle, the square, and when they brought out the stop sign piece for him to put in she asked him if he knew what it was and he said "octagon".... every adult was speachless, except for one that asked.. Did he really just say octagon?
It's amazing to think he's not even three yet and he went from infant to smart little guy in what seems like the blink of an eye. We'll see about Pre-K, they said he's not "needy" as far as education, so then it depends on how many spots are left open, and he'd be going to mainly learn the routine of school, and help him come out of his little shell. (which doesn't usually take long)
So, either this fall, or next fall he could be going to big-boy school as he calls it. Gosh, where has time gone?
