Christopher vs Kindergarten
Apparently drawing the conclusion that his new (very nice) teacher, Mrs B, is the living embodiment of the feared institution of Kindergarten, Christopher was less than warm to her when she came over to meet us last night.
He was polite (mostly), but not the ham that he usually is.
Among the highlights:
- "Christopher, here's a new book I brought for you. Do you like to read?" C: "It's not my favorite thing." (which is when I jump in to say that he loves to be read to! and then decide I shouldn't answer for him just because I want her to like him....it's like some sort of weird puppetry act that I'd like to avoid)
- "Christopher, what kinds of things do you like to do?" C: "Well, I don't really think I want to talk about that right now." (???)
- "Christopher, do you have any questions about Kindergarten?" C:"I just don't really think it's for me."
Mind you, all of these questions were said in a polite manner with somewhat direct eye contact, but I think this is Christopher's way of raging against the machine.
On the plus side, I think she made him feel a little better about the cafeteria. And he did announce his loose toothness to her, which is a good sign. She took all of this very well, which means she's ok in my book.
Should be an interesting year!
