kindergarden here i come!

what a topic of conversation in our house. first they changed the age to go to kindergarden so i was going to be stuck in daycare (we call it preschool, now) for an extra year. then we heard we could find a way for me to test in early which wouldn't really be early, just when it used to be. then we heard they changed the cut off date back but not until next year, which is when i need kindergarden anyways. and if that wasn't bad enough, at my preschool the transition from OP (older preschool) to either Pre-K or a different OP is a big hot topic. parents have very definite opinions of which class they should go to, which teachers they should have and even which friends (we call students "friends" here )should be in class with them. but they are assigned by the bosses. mommy told the bosses, "you know donovan, so just put him where you think he will be the most successful" mommy said she isn't going to play that "but MY child needs to be here this year!" balony. so am i going to go to OP2 where most of my friends are going? after OP2 then they go to pre-K. or do i go straight to pre-K? then i can get into kindergarden early. or, as my parents say, i can spend 2 years in pre- k if i ain't ready to go to kindeegarden. i think we decided that i will skip OP2 and go right to pre-K. it will be some older kids, but once they realize that i am actually superman, it will be okay. i get to keep my same teachers. mommy says i am going to have to learn things like buttoning my pants and wiping my butt better after i poop. i think pre-k is kind of a big deal. i will start pre-k next week and then next month---i turn 4 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
