[quote=Anonymous]Applying to pk3 was an exercise in patience and hilarity.

Each play date, I worried if toddler would poop in pull up, or do something wild. Child did in fact, do something wild at each play date, like escaping from the room on a ride on car, or asking the teacher if they could have the teacher's can of sparkling water (but child was already drinking the teacher's opened can while asking), and then the one school where child ripped up an entire book (something that child had not done before). Looking back at the essays we wrote for the applications, I wrote pretty much an entire paragraph about how energetic and physically active child was and pretty much said 'look, child will be swinging from the rafters, so know who you are admitting"

a few years down the road, child is just as active and busy, and was admitted to most of the schools we applied to. Child has also turned out to be not neurotypical, which is something that did not surprise us, based on child's temperament from infancy. [/quote]
