Milestone Coming!

A few months ago Mommy and Daddy toured a Lutheran preschool/elementary school that is located fairly close to our new home. We made the big leap and with mixed feelings - Mommy went in today to register her baby for preschool. Brian's parents may not be ready for him to be grown up enough to be going to school, but we both agree that HE is ready. It will be very good for him to mix with kids his own age and to spend some time in the structured environment of an actual classroom. He will be in the three day a week program so beginning August 26th, he will be going to school from 8:15am - 11:00am Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.




For those of you wondering "What about his potty training status?" The school would "like" the kids in their 3 year old pre school class to be trained, but they are understanding of situations where that is not the case. Brian is somewhat interested and whenever he asks to use the toilet - he uses it. However, we are currently not really pushed the idea. Everyone we have talked to about this have told us the same thing. Until you are moved into the new house and somewhat settled......do NOT introduce another huge change (ie: potty training) in your child's life. That being said, we talk about the subject with Brian but in a very low key manner. What we ARE talking up though is school! So far, it hasn't required much to get him enthused about the idea. Most of yesterday and several times today alone he has asked "Mommy? I go to school now?"

(If you were wondering, Brian was in the middle of saying "CHEESE" when Mommy snapped this picture.)
