Today is Jett's 100th day of Kindergarten. He's already wise beyond his years as this is actually his FOURTH year of "school!" Two years of pre-school, one year of Pre K and now K. He's top in his class. (his teacher actually said so and we knew it anyway;-) He does math in his head, reads like a second grader and colors like a toddler.......Oh well, 2 outa three ain't bad!!! We finally realized his coloring was mostly scribbled as recess depends on finishing your work.... She obviously never said to finish it neatly! The attitude may change when they make him redo it next year to achieve recess time....
Last night he gave me a hug and shared that he was so sad for me........I questioned his sadness and found out he was sad because I was so old. Then we were both sad!!! Oh well, he's not wrong. Becoming a septuagenarian is not the most exciting milestone:-( The only saving grace is that most of my friends are already acclimated to the term and the rest are joining this year. We are beginning to expect less of each and are tickled when we can remember past experiences and each other's names. I got on my knees yesterday (rare occurrence) to dust under a table and was pretty sure I'd be there until someone came home. I finally rolled onto my side, grabbed the table leg, sat up, banged my head, cussed profusely and decided any reoccurring dust was there until my demise! Such limitations I will learn to live with besides who the hell is ever under my table anyway?
My friend's Mom is literally GOING to be 100 in 2 days and my Mom would have been this year as well. I tried explaining that to Jett and he thought it was quite humorous...as is most every story I share. He practiced walking as an old man with back trouble but thought that wasn't the best way as an old man would most definitely fart a lot if he really walked in that position!!! Once again, wise beyond his years.
I guess I'll just dress up as a 70 year old and accept the fact that the makeup is already applied...permanently!!!!
