Open House!

... preschool style.



This evening we all went to visit Karleigh's new preschool in preparation for her starting "real" classes on Tuesday. Rylan was quite excited that he got to go too and it took him no time to find the cars in her classroom. She sat right down and started playing some math games (must be her daddy's daughter). She really likes her teacher, Miss Tina and one of the girls who will be moving into her class was there as well so it was a great opportunity for her to meet her teacher and one of the girls in her class. When we got her all registered, we were told that she would be the only girl in the class, with 5 boys. Now, there are going to be 4 girls and 3 boys... at this point at least. I love that it's a small class size and now well balanced gender-wise. I think we are all going to be really happy with the decision which is good. It's a decision I really wrestled with for various reasons but I think it will be good for everyone.

I'm trying to decide what to do about Tuesday... do I just let Jim take her like "normal"? Or do I go with her? I want to go but only because it'd be more for me than for her and I think it would be a good thing for her to do with her daddy. I will, of course, be there on time to pick her up and maybe the kids and I will grab lunch before we head home. Yup, that's it. I've leave the "dropping off" to her daddy... there's always sticking her on the bus for Kindergarten right? And that's only 12 months away...

Yay! Lily loved her first week. It was more of a transition for me than her. Let us know how it goes. Hugs!
