Soon to be kindergarten-er

I toon Liam to kindergarten round-up at the primary school tonight. I was not prepared to bring his shot records or birth certificate. Nor did I pre-register online before hand. But, I did go for the "screening" that the teachers do with the kids. Pretty sure they just ask about letters, numbers, shapes and colors. Liam did fine. The teacher that brought him out said that he was the most excited kid she had seen. He was so happy to be there and answering questions. Liam even changed into his "church shirt" for this event. And, the PTO provided all the new kindegartners with magnetic letters to help their letter recognition skills. Liam was in heaven. He loves letters and has been watching a lot of  the Electric Company recently. He loves trying to spell words and sound out letter combos. That boy can read a fair amount, too. Give Liam the book Go Dog Go, and he can read probably 3-4ths of the words. I anticipate a whole lot of spelling going on in our house. I asked Liam what the teachers asked him about. He said, "letters, numbers, colors, shapes and lowercase letters." It sounds like the teachers had them mixed up and had the kids identify the different things. The whole trip took less than 30 minutes and we made it home in time to get ready for karate. And now the boys are getting a good workout with Mr. Phifer. Busy day.
