Entry interview?!@

Did you know that some of the preschools in our area require an entrance interview? Like a college entrance interview? Are you kidding me?? They need you to bring your child in to "meet them and see if they are good fit". What the heck does that mean? Are we going to have to sit there and tell them about WHY they need to take our child into their school? I find myself rattling off the list of the reasons why Payton would be a "good fit" for preschool.
1. She's incredibly cute.
2. She knows her colors and numbers. And she can talk in Spanish!
3. Did we mention she's so cute, like a carbon copy of Dora?
4. After the five months it wil take her to get used to the school, she may warm up enough to say hi and bye to you.
5. She loves books, music, cutting, painting... all the good stuff.

Did I also mention that she's not potty trained? So... she can't go to 99.9% of the schools unless she is potty trained. Sigh. We are looking at a couple different schools close to the house. One is a parent participation preschool where you need to work one day a week in the classroom, and attend three parenting classes in the evening a month. The cool thing is that it is significantly less expensive if you do it that way. Jon is looking at cutting down his work hours to 32 hours a week next year, and could adjust my full contract to potentially have one day a week at home. Does anyone have a million dollar lottery ticket to help up pay for preschool and day care? I have three girls at work who are also enrolling their kids, so we might try and come up with some kind of carpooling option to help everyone out.

Other than that, we are all doing well. You should all be impressed with my husband who's been getting up at 4:30-5 am to go to the gym three times a week. He's quite the super star. If you want to go to a fun egg hunt in March, he's your man. He's started planning them already.

Hope you are staying warm and dry.
