Time for me to quit being an overprotective parent, and allow my kids to be watched by a complete stranger. Just the thought makes ne nervous, panicky, overwhelmed. I know, my girls are 2 and it's time for me to let them venture out into the real world! They are ready, unfortunalty I am not :( Mike and I agreed that begining in January I would go back to work full time, and the girls would do pre-school Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
With that being said, I have been looking on-line, calling around, but not going and visiting anywhere. So this Friday morning, I took a leap and actually visited the school we were most interested in.
The teachers and staff were great. They encouraged Mike and I to bring the girls in for the visit, to let them get a feel and see how they reacted. As soon as we went to where their 2 year old class will be, the girls were so excited. They both wanted to stay and were upset when it was time to leave. There are 2 teachers and 3 boys and 1 girl; so adding 2 more girls will round this class out!
Remember, we are just looking and will not start until January. Yeah right, after a half hour, we were signed up and starting in November. I know, I can't believe it! I am so excited and sad, my babies are growing up and so ready for this huge new adventure!
Now onto getting prepared, nap mats, lunch boxes, back packs...the girls are so estatic with all this new fun "school stuff." Every morning they ask if they get to go to school today. Lets hope this attitude stays as positive when the actually begin going. We are starting out Mon and Fri parital days, and my mom will still keep them Tues-Thurs. Then when I go back full January, and they will go full days Mon, Wed and Fri.
I will keep you posted on this...Our first day is November 4th...Sure a huge blog with lots of pics will follow!
For the rest of the day...BOO AT THE ZOO...
Mike took off work half a day and we headed to the Fort Worth Zoo. The girls wore their Halloween Costumes, and thought they were the coolest cat around! As always, the Fort Worth Zoo is amazing they always out-do themselves and make it just a special place for us. The girls HAVE to see the monkeys, so we spent about a half hour there, then time for Boo to open. No long lines, little crowds, great costumes by all the kids, we had a blast! Ava was off, she couldn't wait to play the games, bean bag toss, football throw, she was all over the place. Alexa however was more interested in heading to the candy stands. Guess she wanted to make sure they didn't run out of candy :)
The pics are what you are interesred in, so I will quit typing and show off my Doctors.
