Pre-schools

that has been what I have been in search of these past few days, A Pre-school that has an AM opening for Fall ( yes, next week) for Sam. isnt an easy task to say the least, Because most people, ( the smart ones who are not wondering if their child should go to pre-school) do this in the SPRING.. But no, not me, The truth be told that I didnt want to send Sam to pre-school, I was perfectly content to keep him home with me, This is after all, the last year that I have him home with me, And I am PERFECTLY aware of how fast time flies ( perfect example is Alec, Who will enter the 12th grade on TUESDAY, 12th GRADE... I honestly remember HIS first day of Kindergarten like it was yesterday, I remember what he was wearing, I remember how we walked him to school Me pushing Brett and Jake in the double stroller, Alec walking beside us, And how excited Alec was when we entered his room to find that his little desk was in the same group as Kaitlyns, the only person he met at the 'meet the teacher' thing a few days before. Alec and Kaitlyn remained the best of friends for two years, till we moved to WA.) Anyway, getting off track here, TIME FLIES TOO FAST!!!!! I dont want another child going off to school, Pre-K or not!!! But Scott INSISTED that Sam had to go.. so off he will go, and I will cry and cry I am sure. But I must be honest, I will be crying all year with Alec graduating, Dont even get me going on that one!
Why must they grow up?

Ah, you made me tear up reading this. I have this theory that kids grow up so they can take care of us when we get old and weary helping them grow up! Be brave and i'll come hold your hand!

This I can relate to. The senior year part. I was so emotional about it, I finally went to the Doc and got meds. I was fine when they all started school, matter of fact I rejoiced. But when the baby started his senior year, I became a basket case. BOO HOO'd at every thing. Didn't help that our principal's baby son was a senior too. We boo hoo'd together. Matter of fact there were quite a few of us who went on meds that year! LOL!

Ugh. I am doing the same thing. We want to get Zoƫ into a two day a week morning class. I am having a hard time sifting through them all. Most require the children to be 2 1/2 so I may have to wait until December. We shall see. How do you know which are the best preschools? Of course they are all going to say THEY are the best. Ugh. And what is up with the application? I thought that was only for college. It's only preschool for pete's sake.
