Last night, I went to a preschool open house. Yep...registration for the fall semester of preschool starts on February 1st. It's advised to register on that day to ensure your child gets a spot as they fill up quickly. So, we have to decide where she'll go. We also have to decide how many days a week she'll go. It feels incredibly important and yet not very important, all at the same time. On one hand, it's only preschool. It's primarily for socialization. On the other hand, it feels like if we choose poorly, she'll miss a "head start" on learning. No pressure, right?!
I'm not going to lie. The thought of dropping her off and walking away makes my heart break and brings tears to my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I know this is a good thing for her. She will love it. I'm just going to miss her like crazy.

I still cry every year when I drop them off at school and walk away. It's hard when you know no one loves them like you do. I spend the entire day telling myself that someone is watching over them. It's so scary but I always get over it and you will too.
She'll LOVE it!
She isn't old enough for pre-school yet is she? She's getting too big too fast! Tell her to stop it!
Pre-school-wow they start them early.I remember dropping Sherry at pre-school-she was not happy and i felt so bad
It will be hard for you, and maybe her too at first (like Henry). BUT, when you pick her up it will be this wonderful excited feeling as you reunite. And it is so incredible hearing them share about their day and knowing there is another lady who is loving her and in her pocket cheering her on is pretty cool. And that time with just little P will be special.
I was excited for preschool because I thought it was going to be so cool. Until Chicken had separation anxiety for the first few months :( Then I cried lots! But now seeing him come home with cool crafts and new french words and friends, etc is really neat!
And plus, now I have this really special time with Little Bear that I just LOVE!
I can't even describe how stressed I am about preschool. I'm completely torn between the "they need to learn everything NOW or they will wind up as high school dropouts" camp and the "let them be little as long as possible" camp. I just don't know what's right.
It is a big deal when they leave. This was A's first year away and I miss her terribly every.single.day.
With Tot, I totally struggled with the whole preschool thing. With Bean, I waved and ran. Poor second child.
