A while ago I blogged about my search for a preschool and a few weeks ago my husband and I decided on a preschool for Awesome A. We decided on a Christian based preschool that is not too far from our home. We filled out all of the application forms, which can be challenging for military families. The particular form involved in enrollment I’m talking about is the “in case of emergency” form. Our nearest family members live about two hours away, but if there is a serious emergency and my husband and I aren’t around I need to have someone who can get to the school in a matter of minutes. We’ve been in Delaware for a little over two years (two years and two weeks to be exact) and have made friends, but I couldn’t imagine filling out this emergency contact card if we’d just recently PCSed.
Awesome A’s first day of school was Tuesday, September 2nd. He was so excited because we had talked about school, we visited with his teacher and he got a new book bag with his name on it. We were all excited!!! Then his first day of school came and it started great. It wasn’t hard getting Awesome A up for school. We ate breakfast, got dressed, took about a million pictures then we were off to school. When we got to the school Awesome A was ready. He hopped out of the car, put on his backpack and marched to the door. As soon as he walked into the class he started playing with blocks and said “bye mommy”. Bunny and I left and I returned about 30 minutes before school was out. I waited the 30 minutes talking to the other mommies who were waiting for the clock to strike noon. At noon I went to Awesome’s class and he ran up to me, showed me the picture he colored and said “lets go get daddy”. The first week was a little rough after the first day because Awesome A is having a hard time adjusting to the school’s structure, but it’s getting a lot better.
Awesome A is not the only one going to school this fall. My husband is currently in ALS (Airmen Leadership School). It’s five weeks long and ends with a graduation and him sewing on another stripe. I also started my second year of graduate school. So,everyone in our household is in school except for Bunny. She turns two in January and I’m contemplating enrolling her in preschool then. When we walk Awesome A to his classroom Bunny has to visit the two year old class next door and finds a seat. We’ll see come January if she’s really ready (I’m not too sure that I’ll be ready then).
Well back the books I go. Bye for now!!!
