Ian's class meeting

Nate and I go to Ian's class meeting last night and it dawns on me that my baby is going to real school soon! He got into "Kindergarten Readiness" or as some schools call it Developmental Kindergarten, Pre-K, etc. All the kids in his class have July, Aug, Sept. birthdays (turning 5 just now) so that was cool to me. His teacher was lovely really: older, many many years of teaching actual kindergarten and treated all of us parents like we were her kids. I like that!
Bad news? Principal stated he felt like by August 26th we shouldn't walk our little ones to their classroom anymore. (What????) Did I mention this school is huge and the kids have to go into the gym altogether and find their row with their class and then wait on their teacher to come get them? That freaks me out! They'll have to block me from walking into the gym at least - maybe by the time baby girl comes in Oct. Iwill feel confidant he won't get lost from the car to the gym row! I'm so silly. Between Eli and Ian, Ian is by far the one who won't be scared to walk in by himself. Eli still wanted me to walk him in after the first day of school and I'm so mean I said that was silly and he was fine! Did I really just admit that on my blog?
I know Ian will do great in school...I'm more anxious for him getting into trouble because he seems to have a problem listening and following directions. As my common question to him is "Ian, what did I just tell you to do?" where as he responds all angelic like "I don't know..." But I remember getting into trouble for that in 6th grade! "It's in his genes teacher, he can't help it!"
He starts next week on Wed....I'll post more then!
