So...we are taking the plunge. I was very apprehensive about letting my little boy grow up too fast. Sending him into the big bad school system is scary for mommy, so I want to keep him home as long as possible. Yeah, something changed in me. Could be his totally wild behavior, our bordum or just my sheer need for him to share his time and energy with another. Nonetheless, I am conseeding to Matts original idea and sending Patrick to preschool next year.
Tomorrow we are checking out Joyful Noise preschool in Black Diamond. Perfect name for my little man. As a pair we make a lot of it! Add Jaden into the mix and we have us a chorus! He is so excited to see it and even more excited to start going to school in the fall.
He has been potty training, in preparation for his big adventures in preschool. He is doing so well. He has barely had any accidents and LOVES pull-ups. He tells me almost every time he has to go, even if we are in the car, at a restraunt, at naptime...when and wherever. I am so proud of my little man. He is making himself ready for his new journey into boyhood.
I really feel like, more than ever, I see that he needs time outside of our house. He is an independent spirit and thrives on adventure and fun. This will do so much for his little spirit. I know we will turn many new corners by taking this leap...scary as it is. :)
Off to preschool we go. In three months, that is. :)
SO exciting! I can't wait to hear what he learns! How many days a week will he go? For how long each day? You will love that time to just focus on Jaden and give him some good one-on-one time, huh? And maybe watch some GG. :) Can't wait to hear more about this big adventure. So proud of our little guy. And you.
ReplyDeleteWhat exciting news! I'm sure he will love it, once he gets past the whole "Mommy is leaving" part. Don't worry, it won't last too long! :)
ReplyDeleteDid you move to Black Diamond? Where are you?
