there's been lots going on in xavier's life... it's party season, and he enjoyed parties with his new kindy mates, plus two old stagers from daycare... the big players are coming up soon, including his own and we are alooking forward to that... xavier seems to be slotting in ok at kindy - we really don't know as he refuses to tell us anything and gets defensive if we probe too deeply... we can work out from various stickers, that he seems to be doing ok - i don't think they are terribly challenged at kindy, but i'm sure he's learning some good social skills and had/eye stuff etc... i took him in one morning -they do this weird (but probably quite sane and common) thing where the parent comes in an plays with child prior to class - xavier and i looked at each other rather perplexed - we're used to daycre, where i dump him and he can't wait for me to leave - however at kindy i'm not allowed to, so after our book, we both wandered aimlessly around the classroom until the parents could leave... odd meanwhile xavier is his normal self at home, using his vivid imagination with star wars figures, trains and lego.. he seems to like the idea of dressing up, so i guess we'll see how that goes. it may mean some visits to the shops in a spiderman outfit i guess... xavier's eating habits have improved immensely, and he will try anything and mostly finish his meals without fussing... better still, the sleeping thing is magic - in the daytime, when he's ready he just puts himself to sleep, and at night, following routine, one of us lies in bed with him for a bit while he gets set up - and then he reads in bed until he falls asleep - it's like he's 9 ... xavier's non-stop talking has continued, except now he inserts bits of overheard conversation into the mix - he's constantly telling us how to do things, where to go and how to get places - cheaper than a gps
