Mommy and Daddy recently accepted an offer to purchase our house, which means we’ll be moving to a different school district soon.  Nevertheless, I went in to my current school today to complete kindergarten assessment.  As you can imagine, this was pretty much my nightmare.  I showed up at a new place and a stranger told me to leave my mom and follow her into another room.  Not happening, lady!

However, once they relented and allowed Mommy to accompany me into the testing area, I did go and fully participate.  My favorite parts were showing off my knowledge, including letter, shape, and number recognition, and some early math concepts.  The only part I was too embarrassed to complete was the speech assessment, because they asked me to repeat silly words in public, which I politely declined to do.

My reward for participation was a trip to Dunkin’ Donuts (score!), a loot bag with a pencil and play-doh in it, and the prestige associated with kindergarten amongst the kids at my daycare.  I’m feeling like the king of the hill today.
