Thor and I actually got a jumpstart by attending their big annual auction fundraiser on Friday night. The welcome we received from the other parents from Quinn’s class was incredibly warm and quite surprising. And it was a fun party to boot. We heard from several parents that their kids were prepped and excited for Quinn’s arrival and had been working on Welcome cards for him. We’ve been prepping Quinn for his first day, but it hadn’t occurred to me that his class would be getting prepped as well. I was really touched.

It's a tough one -- they say at this age kid's learn through play. However, I think we also need to consider each child individually and some of them need a little more structure and challenge. And Montessori is great. I considered it for Quinn, but he's already got such anal-retentive tendencies that I was afraid Montessori would just compound those. He needs to learn that it's okay to get your hands messy. :) It sure is. It’s a tough one — they say at this age kid’s learn through play.

Am grappling with a similar one myself. (Leave in friendly all-play preschool, or move to montessori for her last yr before Kindergarten because she's asking to learn more now....?) I guess it's that time of year. I understand the delimma completely. Am grappling with a similar one myself.

And of course, the blue eyed blonde haired little boy is the young man I keep leaving my husband of almost 50 years for. (we reside in Post Falls, ID) I'm his grandma, AKA, Goggy, the name he gave me. I love it. Is there anything more wonderful than family in this world? I don't think so. Amy's mom/Goggy PS ~ and oh yes, I'm the guilty party for the spoiling that caused my daugher anguish on the first morning she had him all to herself after his week with me.

I think I'll just have to do that. I mean, it's preschool, afterall, right? It's not like it's mandatory schooling. Of course we'll have to pay anyway, but I can live with that. Good idea.

But the school! His future is golden. Is it possible for Quinn to play hooky one Friday a month until Kindergarten starts? I’ll bet the Friday one is especially hard to give up. But the school!

Is it possible for Quinn to play hooky one Friday a month until Kindergarten starts?
