Well, it's finally approaching.
In 7 months, Mady will be going to pre-k.
Granted, i know that's a long time aways yet...
but we just got the paperwork for it today, and i'm filling it out now so her spot is reserved.
She will be attending the local catholic school, Our Lady of Lourdes.
Frank and I both discussed what to do in our situation, and this was what we felt was best.
Due to her birthday being a month and a half after the cutoff for kindergarden, we weren't left with many options.
We could have her sit at home with me for another year (which would do her no good with regards to learning and socializing with other kids),
or we could pay to send her to a private school (the public school in our area has a pre-k/head start program, but apparently it's a monetary based thing, where you can only make a certain amount of money to let you kid attend...let's not even go there, that's a whole other rant on it's own).
So we decided to enroll her.
She will have a great time, i'm sure of it.
She will be learning and socializing.
Plus, one of her best friends will be in the same class as her, so getting to see him everyday will make her even happier!
I worry about her though.
For as smart and social as she is, she can be VERY sensative.
I guess i'm the typical mom though.
I want her to be smart, social, confident, athletic, popular, and just happy in general.
Hopefully this year in pre-k will help her to be all of those things, and give her the confidence that she will need to be a strong, independent girl like i envision for her.
It's scary sending your kid out into the world!
If only i were smart enough to home school, lol!!
But i'm not even "Smarter than a 5th grader"!!
