In preparation for Will beginning kindergarten in the fall, we’ve been paying close attention to his development. I’m happy to say that he is on par or advanced in all areas the school will be assessing, but I’m a little nervous that one of the areas is the child’s ability to tell real from imaginary. My son is pretty down to earth, but he has an active imagination that we encourage by making up stories about his super hero grandparents or furthering his desires to “sometime can we fly on a magic carpet?” I’m not entirely sure he gets that these are just stories, and I’d actually prefer that he didn’t. 5 just seems a little young to be constrained by reality.

(For the curious – I’ve never seen it, but I’ve heard Grandma Texas can jump super high, like as high as a skyscraper. She also has mad crochet and knitting skillz. It is rumored she has whipped up nets to catch bad guys ….)

Anyway, off to catch us some leprechauns so that we can retire early. Work is for realists.
