Adventures in Dial Screening

Last week Jordi went to his Pre-K dial screening which was an adventure. Jordi has never been in daycare and for the last six months he has stayed home with Kev. Thus we thought that attending Pre-K would be helpful. But here is what went down.

Me -- Jordi, we are going to go visit the school. You will go and play games with the teachers and momma and daddy will wait for you.

Jordi -- I'm stayin in the car.

Me -- But you will have fun. The teachers will be playing games with you.

Jordi -- I don't like teachers.

Me -- But Granny Kat is a teacher. And NeeNee is a teacher, and so is Cindy.

Jordi -- I don't like any teachers. I will kick them.

Me -- Jordi we don't kick and we don't talk like that.


After this conversation I knew the day would be interesting. While I try to fill out paperwork, Kev tries to convince Jordi to wear his name tag. Kev lost the fight. Kevin then joined me in the parents waiting area while the teachers took Jordi for assessment. Well, that lasted maybe five minutes when we started to hear loud screams of DADDY! DADDY! DADDY! coming down the hall. I knew those screams. So Kev had to dial screen with Jordi which is not how the process is supposed to work. He scored mostly "uncooperative", but I think he has a good chance of getting in.
