With Paige, she was on base,
right down the street, in a security-camera-filled
safe place, that cost us virtually nothing.
With River, we pay much more,
everybody is new (except 1 friend),
and I have had really been required to "let go".
This, if you know me at all, is EXTREMELY difficult to do.
I don't trust people,
I think the worst,
and I am crazy protective over the kids.
With that said, I had the most wonderful feeling touring this facility,
and I was overwhelmed with the feeling that River had to be a part
of what they do there.
We made that happen, and I am grateful I let go.
I still get 2 days a week that are solely Riv+Mom time, and I cherish those days. He gets time away from me, and he gets to learn, and grow, and sing, and dance, and have experiences with other kids and adults that I cannot give him on my own.
Here is some Riv+Mom time from the other day, with a guest appearance by the stray kitten Tiger, who is really a gorgeous little guy.
Anybody want a kitten??
Have you had a good experience with Preschool and your children? Were you apprehensive about choosing the right one?? Or, do you home-school for the preschool years? XO, A
he is sooo handsome! Isla starts her preschool on Monday. Its only 2 hours 2-3 days a week though, so I can handle that! I think its fine to do pre-school at home and with other moms/kids too, could be even better actually....
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am looking forward to hearing how she likes it. I wish I lived close to a good group of girls, because I think the group Preschool/Homeschool idea would be so fun.
DeleteI am glad to know that I am not the only one that thinks the worst! Ruby is in preschool and it's so expensive and Ross needs to go because I am working now part-time, but I just can't afford it, why does it have to be so expensive?! But I tell you the thought of him going to preschool instantly brings stinging tears to my eyes and scares me to death if that makes any sense!
DeleteRiv is such a handsome boy! Seriously the cutest! Love you guys!
