My dear son,
it was your last day at school before the summer holidays begin. It was also the day when you recited rhymes with your classmates in-front of all the parents. Your first official stage performance. And it was a success. Unlike some of your classmates you were not tongue-tied. Or break into tears. I am so proud of you.
But you looked sleepy and dazed.
Why?
Maybe because now you get up at 5:30 am instead of 6 am.
And the one-on-one interaction with your teacher was quite entertaining. It seems you know everything already, be it numbers, animal sounds, rhymes and alphabets. The first impression you give to her is that you are not listening, since you are constantly humming some rhyme but it seems you do reply to every question your teacher asks, like which is the biggest continent or where is the Ostrich found (reminder to self to google all this up). In fact, you answer out of turn too for some of your classmates too. She then told me about an incident where you identified zero and one correctly and seemed to have impressed both the teachers with this knowledge. I looked at her sweetly for a second. Then i very politely informed her that you can identify and recite till 100.
Anyways what follows now is the most amazing part. It seems very often you lie down while the teacher is interacting with your group. At times you just start humming a rhyme and go in a trance-rhyme mode. Then there are times when you roll on the floor. The teacher then informed me at times you do all three. Lie down on the floor and roll and sing. While the group interaction is going on. Irrespective of the teacher's request to get up and pay attention.
What tops this? It seems yesterday during class you asked permission to get a drink from the water cooler. But you never returned.A search ensued and you were found on the school bathroom floor, rolling and singing some tune.
