Pardon the language, but I’m serious. It gets worse every week. If I said every day that would be a little dramatic, even if it may be true.
He pushes every button even when I give him options to make it easier for the both of us. ARRGGGHHHH!!!!
Within our first month of this year he’s already given me 10 white hairs. lol.
His bio hasn’t made it any easier either. Let’s say every Friday he’s been with him he’s missed school. One reason: no money for gas. But whatever already. I can’t get him to do anything to make all our lives easier. But one must be patient for good things to happen. Even if it will cost me extra money.
Over the past month Nyx has definitely grown into an amazing person. I can tell the huge differences in him since his 4th birthday. Asking more questions, reasoning the why, and cause and effect. Although I wish he plug in his cause and effects when he throws those god awful tantrums.
Over the past month I’ve argued with myself about enrolling Nyx into Kindergarten. Thought about the fact that he will be the youngest in his class. The cut off date is Dec. 31 so how many kids will be younger than him? I’ve read tons of articles and threads over parents holding their kids back because they will be the youngest. Practically instilling the fear that my son will fall behind because he isn’t mature enough for school. I bounced back and forth with my decision. I’ve asked many friends how they felt going through school. Creating a graph in my head to balance out the see saw in my head.
I’m enrolling him this month.
What it came down to is what Nyx wanted. He really wants to go to Kindergarten. He’s seen the school and has grown incredibly excited and anxious to start. If he feels that he is ready and can’t wait then who am I to argue?
It’s pretty exciting though. Especially when I was filling out the Emergency Card. lol. I remember filling it out for myself when I was in school. My mom was pretty lazy and lame. Now that I am doing it for Nyx is just all to surreal. Another thing to add on to the list of “what makes me mom. . . .” Before I know it I’ll be complaining about the outrageous rip off call the ‘Graduation Packet’ and fighting to photographer for crappy expensive senior photos. hahaha.
I’m also signing him up for the A+ after school program and Kumon. It’s to counterbalance that feeling that he might fall back. Plus I need to start early on having him get used to school for the next 13 years. I know that when Christmas and summer breaks came around I would be out of whack going back to school. It would take me half the school year to get back into the school cycle.
It sounds like I’m over doing it, but A+ is till at 5pm and Nyx will be finishing around 2:3o. I don’t finish work till the earliest 3:30. So during A+ he’ll be doing his homework, which leaves more family time after. Kumon will make up for my lack of children tutoring. But depending where he needs the most help its between math and reading.
I don’t know what February has to hold right now, but I’m sure it will be pretty exciting.
