Because Maddi’s b-day lands after the cut off for school,
she will be going to kindergarten at age six.
So we decided that we would hold off and put her into pre-school next
year, because she tends to catch on to things really quick, and become bored
with things even quicker. We didn’t want to risk her hating 2 years of
pre-school before kindergarten. Also, I just take pride in knowing that my 3
year old has already learned so much from Mommy and Daddy. She knows her
alphabet and what sounds they make, sight reads about 10 words, count to 60
with very little assist, spell her first and last name, knows her birthday,
colors in the lines (mostly), and sings songs from memory by herself (amongst
many other skills). The week that pre-school started, we noticed some acting
out from Maddi on things she would never do. So after 5 days of probing on why
she was “making bad choices” everyday at school, she told me “Because I have to
stay down. I have to stay down and go to baby room.” Let me translate that for you… because she
had to stay down stairs in daycare while the other 3 year olds went upstairs
for pre-school, and after pre-school is over a lot of parents pick their kids
up, so they consolidate the remaining daycare kids in the toddler room. L
I was sad that she was sad L
So, Mommy and Daddy had Maddi enrolled in pre-school the very next day!! And,
guess what… she is back to her happy normal self and thriving in pre-school…
she LOVES it!
After the stint of behavior changes, it made Mommy and Daddy pay
attention to Maddi’s want for stimulation and need for activity. So, the very
next week… she was enrolled in TUMBLING!!! She loves wearing the leotards,
playing with new friends (some are actually from her school) and showing us her
“tricks” LOL She is such a little live wire, that she loves all the running
around, singing, stretching, and “tricks” they get to do. Oh, and don’t forget
the STICKERS after class!!! LOL
