I signed Lex up for preschool in the fall!
\n He is super excited and I am nervous. Typical, right? Our
\n school district offers a free public preschool (they call it
\n Pre-K) and we are waiting to hear if he’s been accepted (not
\n really worried about that) and which session. There are two
\n schools and each school holds a morning and afternoon session.
\n On the application we got to specify our preferred place\/time,
\n but we may or may not get it. I choose a morning session at the
\n school right down the street, but I won’t know for sure until
\n the end of May. <\/p>\n
I went to a preschool
\n informational meeting tonight. It was interesting. The program
\n is pretty basic and everyone seems nice. The preschool room is
\n kind of small and clearly a public school, but the teachers are
\n super nice and the one I was speaking with was thrilled about
\n his reading abilities and already started talking about ways to
\n work that into the program. They also have a nice little
\n reading corner and she said that they never force kids to join
\n the group if the kid doesn’t want to. I’m sure Lex will, but
\n maybe not right way. He likes to hang back and watch for a few
\n minutes. Or maybe he’ll jump right in, who knows! I had Emily,
\n our neighbor, watch them tonight while I went to the meeting
\n (Alan had to work late) and the kids were thrilled! Lex
\n normally runs and hides (just being silly, really) when people
\n come over, but with Emily he was right there, talking to her
\n immediately. He pulled her into the living room to show off his
\n trains. <\/p>\n
I think Lex is definitely ready
\n for school and he is really excited about it, but it will be
\n weird to leave him every day. I guess you have to send that
\n first one off sometime, huh? Although these past few days I’ve
\n been ready to boot him out several times!! I think they are
\n both getting bored of being home with me full-time. Hmmm….
\n anyway. Preschool in the fall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
