Trying not to be uber mommy
So, for around a year now, I have been adamant about Jude going to kindergarten the fall of 2011. Lance disagrees. I have disagreed back. Back and forth. We talked about it again last night, and it seemed to finally click: Jude is not ready. He was a preemie, which did not effect him intellectually, he is almost average sized for his age, and physically on par developmentally with peers. He is, however, very clingy.
I knew that his preschool teacher would having conferences at some point this school year, so I asked her today when. I told her my husband had some concerns about him being ready socially and emotionally; she said "yes" nodding in ascent.
Sigh..... Oh.
Despite hearing something I did not want to hear, I was more prepared than I thought I would be to accept that fact. It probably did not hurt he promptly had a meltdown when I tried to leave (which he has not done in months!). Could I have had a better object lesson then that?
Anyway, going to kinder at 6 will not hurt him. If later, he needs to jump ahead a grade, great. If he stays with that class, no problem.
Now I just have to admit I was wrong.
Well, overly optimistic, in the least.
Which I did... via email. ;)
