Can you believe it? My baby is going to be turning 3 this summer and it is time for me to start filling out a preschool application. I always knew that this day would come, but I don't think anyone is fully ready to send their baby out into the world. I know it is only preschool, but preschool turns into elementary school, middle school and high school. I just hope that I teach her what she needs to survive in the world. It is always an exciting adventure for her and for me. I know that she will enjoy socializing with kids her age and she loves learning. She will do well.
For those mothers out in the world who have kids in school, any advice for first time mothers whose child is starting school?
Happy 13th, B!

Enjoy the peace and quiet while she is at school!
Actually, I would consider keeping her home for another year. I sent Hazel this year and am kind of wishing that I'd kept her with me. She'll go to preschool again next year anyway. But I miss her being with me.
But if you would like the little bit of time with one less child...it does make getting your errands done a lot faster.
Don't do it. Keep her home. I think especially with older kids, we push them out the door to get them all grown up. When truly, in a few years, you'll wish she was 3 again, and could stay home with you, and learn from you.
Or send her, and enjoy the peace and quiet, like Mindy says.
Either way.
no advice here, sorry. I like the new background!
Hey there! We've been through the dilema this year. We opted to not put Elle into school. We think she may just learn the stuff we don't want her to learn from the other kids:). I found ag reat program that's free online and if all goes well, I'll make a little time everyday. We'll see, it's hard with Hyrum now. But everyone assures me they grow up way too quickly and to keep them with you as long as you can. Elle will miss most cut offs by like 13 days which is so frustrating right now but I'm just holding off and we'll see next year:). If I was going to put her in I'd make sure it was only a half day a few times a week for a couple hours to run errands, clean the house, etc...Maybe next year for us! I can't believe Tressa is almost 3! Time is flying by! We miss you guys and congratulations on the interviews! Keep us posted!
Her preschool is 3 times a week for 2 hours. It will be nice for her to socialize with others and gives me time to run errands. I know that she will enjoy it.
My two older kids didn't do pre-school - we lived in the sticks and I would have had to drive to SLC for one. I did do lots of stuff with them and they've grown up just fine- but all of their kids have gone to preschool.
Be sure to use the "free time" for yourself - and not housework, etc. That stuff will get done anyway - use the time to recharge and have quality time with your baby.
The above is advice that Grandma Mary gave me many years ago - and I will affirm that it is true!
