She looks so grown up! I can't believe that she is going to be a year ahead of Lucia in school. The Catholic school I'm going to send my girls to has a very strict August 1 cutoff date, so L will be one of the very oldest in her class.

I really wish we had something like that here - I am stressing already about PK for Lauren and she won't go until next year. Gah. Do I send her? Do we go public? Do we go private? Do we go Christian? Who knows! <br /><br />Tory looks so cute in her little backpack! So grown up!!<br /><br />I totally agree with the 2 year old thing - HUGE difference between just turning 2 and almost 3. I have kids in my class that are a full year apart, it is crazy.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425160059270976824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404768051127191583.post-81214800100201948192013-09-12T07:57:53.331-05:002013-09-12T07:57:53.331-05:00I think it's great that you're getting her...I think it's great that you're getting her used to this when she's younger. Allie's first non-mom event was Sunday School and the first week was awful - she cried for about 10 minutes before finally engaging in activities with the other kids. The second week was better and by the third week, she did great. I think it really helped because when she did preschool last year, she had no problems leaving us at all!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029781576253283036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404768051127191583.post-69962451484792552212013-09-11T20:04:58.451-05:002013-09-11T20:04:58.451-05:00Oh you will love ECFE.

And iif you are at the same school we are, and it's the same teacher Anne that Gus had, then yeah. She's wonderful, and has completely appropriate expectations of 2 yr olds. ;) Been there though. Circle time can be stressful when it's your kid being somewhat uncooperative. Trust me. Totally normal and she's seen much worse. (My kid? Ha!) Have fun! And I think you'll also enjoy and appreciate the connections with other moms you make in the parent education part of class as well.

Lilah was barely 3 when she started and the difference between last fall and this fall in school has been TREMENDOUS! She's like a totally different kid! She'll be the youngest in her class too though, so I felt strongly about her having 2 years of PreK under her belt before starting kindergarten. But she will be more than ready, I can already tell. <br />I'm sure Tory will adjust just fine over time once she gets used to the space and structure of the class. <br />Did you consider a daycare program that is more play focused rather than preschool since she is so young? I have my kids do a couple of half days at daycare when they are younger so that they get the socialization and are used to some time without mom being by their side 24/7. It also gives me some time to get stuff done without kids (or without all my kids, haha!). Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929850176678535570noreply@blogger.com
