The entrance fee to Kindergarten is enormous. There's all sorts of sweating involved and heavy negotiating. At least that's how it feels. You should check out this load of paperwork they've sent to fill out. And if that's not enough, there's a bunch of vaccinations needed in order to even be able to enroll. That's where the most difficult task comes in. Vaccinations which means needles and blood and screaming and Band-aids. Oh, this will be fun. Her fourth year checkup was a picnic, I assure you. A picnic brawl with heavy screaming, and then when I thought she couldn't be more stubborn, they demanded a urine test. Fun times.
The moment Bailey heard there were shots required, she was not interested. She begged, she pleaded. Ever since, she's been debating the rationality of such a request. And when I reasoned that they won't allow her in to Kindergarten without such a hassle, she's decided that maybe Kindergarten isn't quite so necessary and interesting and exciting. Her exact words were, "then I don't want to go to Kindergarten." If that wasn't hard enough to hear, tears then started to well in her little eyes. I was expecting a head tilt to follow.
Eh, there's always homeschooling.
