Didi goes to the playgroup at Fanny's Workshop. This morning, they organized a rehearsal for K1 interview. The place, around 800 sq ft, was packed with kids and parents. There must be around 70-80 people all together.
We were one of the those people who arrived early and didi was doing OK then. After an hour, his patient was wearing thin and started to play up. Boys, including didi of course, were fighting over toys. Moms were supposed to stop the fight while wearing big tender smiles on our faces because this is what we are supposed to do during the interview. I was having a very hard time practicing the smile while I have to stop didi from snapping the red car back from another boy.
We were all supposed to sit properly and wait because sitting around and wait actually is a big part in K1 interview. I consider this "wait and do nothing in peace" thing a "Mission Extremely Impossible". didi didn't want to sit down, and wouldn't listen to my instruction either because he was there doing nothing interesting for too long. He is not a "sitter" at all. He bursted into tears while I was trying to get him to sit and wait, and all other parents with kids were sitting nicely by their tables looking at us... I wanted to leave so much because it was no fun for any of us at all. We went through agonies during the second half of the session.
I am not holding high hopes for these interviews that are coming up. I just want didi to be true to himself and I will be proud of him anyways!
