AJ

AJ started Kindergarten this year.  My expectations of this year for AJ were that Kindergarten was going to be "easy peasy lemon squeezy" as AJ would say.  Yeah - not so much.  He loves his teacher, so that's a plus.  He says she's hilarious. "Mom - she does this thing where she says "interesting, very, very, interesting" in a funny voice.  She's the funniest teacher ever!"  Also, the lunchroom ladies are "the best cooks in the whole entire world", so that's awesome.   Everything else - horrible. I think that he went to school the first day thinking that they would do some trig, and read War and Peace all before lunch. In reality "all they do is COLOR"!   The other kids - horrible. He has one boy who's name he remembers on a regular basis that is pretty cool.  He says that he is "JUST LIKE ME"! "Mom - he even goes to the bathroom the same way as me" he said.  That freaked me out!  Turns out that just means he utilizes the stalls, not the urinals. Whew! There is also one little girl that is acceptable, although he can never seem to recall her name.  Everyone else - not so much.  They "try to get him in trouble" with their fighting games, they are in his personal space, or they are telling on him for being too rough or him being in their personal space.  School is too long.  They have to be sooo quiet.  There are entirely too many lines, whistles, rules, you name it.  So, here's to hoping we get the hang of it.
