Good thoughts. I have to say, about 85% of the time I tell myself "things will be fine, you never know how things will work out, he's a great kid and will be fine" etc. etc etc. I am constantly trying to stay positive about schooling. It is just that from time to time (like when I hear things from others, when he suddenly starts doing even more extraordinary things,when others question what we are going to do with him, and when I see what kids do in Kindergarten) I wonder what K is going to do with him. I know in my school here (we have 5 K's) they wouldn't do anything special. And this is a great school. They just haven't encountered children that LOG, and I would imagine that manys schools haven't. They have to teach at all the other child's level and don't have staff for individual work.

I am excited about getting some testing on him in the spring. I would like to learn more about him, how he thinks, and how he learns best. I want my DS to have a good start to school. His experiences so far have not been great. When he was 3 we took him out of a program after 4 months because they really didn't like him and found his behaviors challenging because he wouldn't sit nicely during circle time like the other students. This year he was already "kicked out" of his first pre-k this year after a month. He is now in the second and they think he is doing well. They enjoy him there and have started to provide more challenging things for him to do. He does test limits at times, but according to them not too different than the other kids. I still don't think he loves his pre-k that much, at times he says he doesn't like it..but other times he seems to enjoy going. His current pre-k said they can work with him but that sometimes he seems bored when they are addressing the whole class. They suggested montessori for the future because they can't see what a school would do with a child like him. That's honest, but a little discouraging to hear that from a teacher. I know transitions and disappointments are a part of life, but I just don't want him to have another one just yet. I just wish K could be great and he would love it. That is probably too much to ask, but that is my dream.
