Ready Or Not

Yesterday, since Mike had off from work, we went to our church's Day School to sign Lily up for preschool. We talked with the director, took a little tour of the small school, filled out a registration form and handed it over with a check. So it's done, it's coming, Lily will be attending school on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Here are some tid bits of our upcoming fall:

*Lily will be one of six children in their two year old class that attends T/R

*School hours are from 9-1230

*Lily will need to have a lunchbox! To pack a mid morning snack and lunch

*Lily will also need a bookbag, large enough for all of her things (i.e. artwork, extra set of clothes, lunchbox and probably Rufus :) )

*The school year begins the week after Labor Day and ends the week before Memorial Day

*We need to sign Lily in and out of school each day

*The outside doors are locked during school hours

*We are to walk her to her classroom and do a "hand-off" to her teacher

*We are NOT allowed to accompany her into the classroom *tear* (but completely understand)

*They have Spanish, Music, Computer, Chapel and Art classes each week

*They play outside on their playground for half an hour each day

*The teacher, Mrs. Simonas is lovely!

*Mrs. Singer, the director, says she would be glad to offer updates through the day on how Lily is doing *smile* wonder how many she's willing to do?!?

*Lily does not need to be potty trained but the teachers are willing to help when she is ready (is it ready or stubbornness, hmmm...I think Lily is on the stubborn end of potty training)

So, ready or not September is coming and so is preschool. I'm sure Lily will be ready if she isn't already but are we??
