Preschool

Cora started preschool last week! If you recall a blog post last spring, you'll remember that we had debated whether or not to send her this year. We had decided to wait until 2011 and then reevaluate, but a few days after deciding that the director of A New Adventure Preschool contacted us to say that someone had annonymously paid for Cora to attend this school year, if we would like her to! What a surprise! We feel humbled and grateful to be the recipients of such a generous offer. So, that helped us change our minds to decide to send her this year.

Preschool meets at our church and is a Christian preschool. We have been able to observe the school throughout the last few years and have been nothing but impressed. We would have chosen this school for Cora. So we are thrilled that she is able to go this year. She loves the songs that she's learning and has shown us "Hips and Lips": the posture the students take when in the hallways. One hand on a hip, the other on your lips so they are quiet and not touching anything or anyone else.

I am going to enjoy having some time with just Peter. After Cora goes to school and it's just Peter and I, I realize how much attention she gets from me. It's nice to be able to focus on Peter for a bit, and on anything else that needs my attention while Peter naps!
