Stay in School

Isaac started Kindergarten this year. We knew it would be different, I mean, he is NOT Alex. I was ready. I told the teacher to let me know if there were any "problems" and we would work on them. I meant it, I do want to know. I just didn't know it would be this soon.

I went to pick Isaac up this week (mind you, second week of school) and his teacher comes out to my car and says "why don't you get him loaded in the car so I can talk to you for a minute?"
Really?
Already?
OK.

So she tells me he's really cute and has some great friends (here it comes)... BUT, he is also easily distracted, likes to talk and doesn't pay attention very well. Yeah, I could have told you that.

So we're working on it. We bought some spooky pajamas for a prize if his teacher says he's doing well,
we're role-playing, we're discussing how to be a good student.... it's fabulous. Aaah, parenting.

So then, yesterday Isaac and I stopped at the downtown McDonalds for some lunch. As we were walking in, Isaac very indiscreetly stared at this homeless guy hanging out next to the building and wanted to know why he was there. When we got inside I tried to explain that he didn't have a home and such. I don't think he really understood, but when we left McDonalds Isaac stared again at this poor guy and he yells to Isaac "stay in school".

Thank you homeless man. Thank you for teaching my five-year-old in a way I never could WHY we have to sit in our seats and listen to teacher. We need to stay in school!

    What a good lesson! I am sure he will do just fine once he gets the social bug undercontrol.
