I took Big Sissy today to get a DIAL screening to assess her "kindergarten readiness." She won't quite be old enough for kindergarten in the fall, but I'm having SUCH a hard time figuring out what to do about schooling so I figured it wouldn't hurt. She did great, as I suspected she would, but the things she did not do great at kind of made me laugh. She is SO much like me.
Some things she can do: write her name, count to 100, recognize letters and numbers, name shapes.
Some things she can't do: skip, draw shapes, catch a ball.
There's good news, kid. You CAN survive without coordination, artistic ability, or athleticism. I said I wasn't worried, but then I took her out to play catch as soon as we were home. Too bad they didn't test for perfectionism...

She can, however, hit a tiny ball with a tennis racket. This should be noted.
That's hilarious! I was just like that when my kids were that age... taking them to play ball...
And she can run for miles and miles!
She's such a happy, well-adjusted little girl. Who cares if she can't skip or catch a ball (besides her PE teacher, that is). Those things can be learned, and her sweet personality is priceless.
SHE CAN CATCH!!! I played catch with her at little buddys party!
I was confused about that too, Don. She can catch snacks and sippy cups from the back of the van too. I wish I could have watched how and what size of ball they were catching.
Thats perfect, Asher will play baseball for the Cardinals, and Caroline can be his manager (keep track of the all the details). That is, of course, after the arranged marriage! :)
