Honey starts preschool this week. I am so sad. Really sad. A year ago she wasn't talking (when she first came to us). And now look at her.
I love her more than she will ever know.
Seriously, she was so tiny. She looks like a completely different kid.
Well anyway, did I mentioned that we (or I) camped out to get her into this school? We were on the waitlist as the hubs pitched the tent. He didn't want to stay. I am so glad he listened to me, because we got in! This isn't even half of the people who camped out. There was no good place to pitch a tent. There was that steep hill and the bottom of the hill was a wind tunnel.
I went up to give him a night off and made so many friends I told him to stay home with the kids. hahah I stayed up with Harold in tow (I ok'ed it with the other parents first) It was FREEZING! Seriously, like 15 degrees outside. The principle was out of town so she wasn't there to let us sleep inside the school.
So, I forgot how much I loved the people I met when we were there. It really was a bonding experience. My friend is planning on camping out this year to get her daughter in and I already volunteered to stay up there with her. At the very least relieve her.
When I saw the people we camped with it was so nice to see friendly faces. I really hope to become closer to the parents when school starts. But more than anything I forgot about how amazing the school is. Really, who has a welcome picnic for students and parents to say hello?! We really do need to move because our house is busting at the seems but I kept looking at better school districts than our city schools. I would NEVER send my kids to the local school, but am so happy we got into this magnet school. And it really is a relief knowing they have this wonderful opportunity.
Honey, waiting in line for the bounce house.
This picture is the best because of Pumpkins face, sheer anticipation, and the boy behind her.
Sweet Heart, you are only 2. Please don't grow up so fast!
Pumpkin really was so proud, as were we.
Pumpkin loved it! I really wasn't expecting it. I thought she would be shy and timid like she usually is. It was a role reversal day.
Honey was so overwhelmed with all of the kids and the little, if any, nap she got
attitude!
