Our First Full Week of Preschool

I won't lie or deny that it is not a little sad that, albeit quite empty, this blog was started when Ollie was about 4 months old, and here we are blogging about his first full week of preschool. I guess I am kind of sad that I have not been better about blogging his life, but trust me - I do have some nice looking scrapbooks on the shelves to show for it ;)

So we completed our first "real" week of preschool. I say real because last week was half days. It was a great week for Ollie. He really loves school. It is weird for me because I was so convinced that we would homeschool, and that it was the best option for any child, but the way he is taking to school I am second guessing that thought. Kilby is such a great school and we are so lucky to have gotten in there. Ollie loves playing outside, riding the bikes, and I swear in 2 weeks has has learned the phonics of the entire alphabet - he likes to quiz me in the car..."mom, what letter is 'ba, ba'?" -B!-

They have gone to the library, they eat their little lunches together (which he is trying new foods - wonderful!) - it is just a really special place, and it doesn't hurt that his best bud got in last minute, so Ollie and Sterling get to have a blast together everyday.

It will be interesting to see what happens this year. I am not making any decisions regarding Ollie's schooling until the year is over, whether we will homeschool or send him to kindergarten. I try to not regret much, but I do regret not putting Ollie's name on the waiting list for Kilby Kindergarten when he turned 3. There are so many names that his chances are slim to get in, so we will have a lot to think about for K. But for now, the best we can do is enjoy every minute of preschool. It is such a fun age. I cannot believe that I have reached the point in my life where I am no longer home with a toddler, but have a child in school everyday - weird.
