Preschool Screening

                 From this precious baby with cute dimples...........



                                    


                To a super cute preschooler (with cute dimples!)..........

I was reminiscing because we went to Christopher's Early Childhood Screening today.  Wow!  To think that this is the first step in preparation to school makes me say good bye to my little baby boy and hello to a big boy that is going to turn into a man someday!

Here are some highlights of the screening:

1.  Teacher:  Can you count to 10? 
     Chris says: 1,2,3,10
     My internal response:  Really?! I know he can do better than that.

2.  Teacher:  Fill in the blank.  A brother is a boy, a sister is a _______?
     Chris says:  I don't know
     My internal response:  WHAT?!  He's been telling us for two years..."I"m a boy, daddy is a boy, chester is a boy, mom is a girl, sissy is a girl.  I have a peepee, dad has a peepee, mommy doesn't have a peepee, sissy doesn't have a peepee."  I'm pretty sure he knew that answer!

3. Teacher:  Where is your knee?  Can you point to it?
   Chris: Stands up, turns around and points to his butt.  The teacher sits there a moment, looks up, doesn't know if she wants to laugh or not, and looks at me and says, "I thought I had seen everything,  but this is a first!" 
  My internal response:  ..............

The rest of the screening went well.  They checked his hearing and eyes.  Both are perfect.  He copied building patterns and shapes on charts.  He drew lines and circles.  He was a really good listener and he followed directions very well.  I was very proud of him.

He is 39 pounds and 40 1/2 inches....both in the 75th percentile. 

His overall score was a 36 out of 48.  He needed an 18 to pass.  Great job to my big boy!!!
