Thanks for sharing your experience JBDad. I like hearing different experiences. When DS is challenged he does get tired more...but when not he can go and go. Since he started his Montessori school he gets more tired on those days. Other days he has boundless energy. So sometimes I think a full day would be way to much for him. Although I work at a school with full day pre-k and they adjust fairly quickly after a couple weeks.
Sometimes I try to build things up with my DS and it always seems like he isn't excited after. But it still gets him to try new things, so that is good. He never really hates anything, but he never acts like he loves anything either. He is odd. Like he will eat something and say "wow mom, this is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten in my life" and I will say thanks, and then a second later he will take a bite and say "I don't really like this". He does stuff like that all the time. He will still eat it though. This isn't just with food though. He will excitedly tell me about how he had a great day, and then will not remember any of it. Today he told me the best part of the day at school was circle time. What was great about it? "the waiting." He said that he had to wait and wait and wait until it was over. That's all I got out of him, because he "couldn't remember" anything else (ie: I don't feel like stopping and thinking and talking about this). Anyhow, I got way off topic. my point was a I build things up, and he gets excited...but it doesn't last long, LOL.
