i'm looking to sign audrey up for pre-school in the fall. there is one at the corner of the next street. i know some other kids who go there & that quite a few kids who end up at max's kindgarten go thru the preschool program there. audrey is excited. we have often had to explain that the playground that they see is a school playground, and i'm familar with a few of the teachers since they also do after care and pick up up students from bus stop at my corner. my one draw back so far is it is a christian school & there's chapel once a week. they hear a bible story and sing songs. parent are allowed to visit during that time so i could always drop in and when she is enrolled and talk with her if she has questions.
meanwhile max has taken off and is reading and writing well, plus they did time the past two weeks. he was already able to read an analog clock, but now can read it to the quarter hour. now he keeps asking for a watch! max's sudden development in reading & writing has sparked audrey. she is making little scribbles and says it reads things like " i love you" or "audrey" and i now i hear the ABC song all the time, well along with the birthday song.
all these thoughts about school are making me have the heebee jeebees though. i do realize audrey will have one year (9 mos) of three 1/2 days of preschool, and then a year of 1/2 day kindergarten but what will i do?? not only have i thought about but i've had two aquintances ask me! i will be nice to have some time to really get the house in order but then what? i dont have a career to get back to. is there some secret ambition hiding inside?
