KK's first week of preschool

Wow, it sure took us awhile to get KK's preschool figured out. We were assured that would would be able to get her into the Head Start at Aly's school but the end of August. We didn't think it would be a problem and were looking forward to having both girls at the same school. August came and went and KK didn't get in. I waited all the way until the end of September as they advised and she still didn't get in. So we finally put her in preschool the first week of October.

I have to admit I did love having her home. As she is getting older she is getting much easier, especially when she is by herself. She loved playing home alone everyday as big sister was off to school. She would spend hours playing in the playroom happily, thrilled that she didn't have any competition over toys! I actually debated waiting until January to send her to preschool. We decided we should start her now though since she fights with her sister so much at home. We were worried it would shape her social interactions with others. So we thought it was best for her socially to go now and learn how to play cooperatively with others.

We decided to send her to Aly's old preschool. If we kept her in Pollock all of those children go up to the local elementary school and KK will not be going to that school. However, if we put her at Aly's old preschool she will be able to have some of the friends she makes go with her when she goes to kindergarten. We thought this would be best for her for her transition.

She is having a GREAT time! She loves playing with all of their toys and is thrilled to play chase on the playground with all of the other kids. I have came early to pick her up all three days so I could watch her. I couldn't believe how well she is already making friends and enjoying playing with the other children. In fact, on the days she didn't go to preschool, she was crying because she wanted it to be a preschool day!

I am so happy that she wants to go to school. It is nice for me to have two days of errand running a week without any children! Now I just need to control my spending! LOL
