I registered Alex for JK two days ago. How can that be? I know it sounds cliche, but how is it possible that my last child is going to Kindergarten already?
I'm scared. And I know John is too. He's been having nightmares about Alex for weeks. They always end with Alex's face burnt and disfigured. What is that about?
We didn't have these reservations with the girls. Of course, we didn't have speech issues with the girls. Ticking off the "Does your child need Special Education?" box as "Yes" almost made me cry - even though I know how lucky we are that he's a smart boy, who just has a hard time expressing himself.
If this area didn't have full day/alternate day kindergarten, I might not feel this way. What if he eats his whole lunch at first recess? What if the teacher is too busy to help him communicate with another child? What if another child makes fun of him because he's understand?
Good thing I have 9 months to stress over this.
(I didn't post this to Bread Crumbs because I don't want to hear "He's going to be fine!" over and over again. He most likely IS going to be fine, but it's cold comfort sometimes. KWIM?)
