We went to Kindergarten Roundup yesterday for JG. He is really excited about finally qualifying as a big kid and being able to hang out with his buddies NB and MO at the school. We knew quite a few of the children who will be attending school with JG in the fall, there were even a few surprises mainly JG's nemesis NR from pre-school last year. I didn't see him at first when JG ran over, "Mommy, NR is here. I not want him here, tell him to go home." I told JG that NR was fine and he would need to give it another go at trying to get along with him.
I don't know what really transpired last year, but it has made a lasting impression on little man. He will bring up NR at the strangest moments remembering something not so nice. The only thing I really got from the teachers is NR was in JG's personal space all of the time and he didn't care for it, can't say I would either. The one thing I do remember distinctly about NR was a conversation JG and I had last year driving home from school.
JG: Mommy, last night I dreamed I hit NR.
There was a pause.
JG: Oh wait, that not a dream that happened today.
I guess they got into a tiff over a truck and it went a little south, I mentioned it to JG's teachers and they didn't see anything out of the ordinary happen, so we moved on. Let's just hope history does not repeat itself in Kindergarten, if it does it will help JG brush up on his cooperation skills which should be pretty interesting.
