The preschool problems rage on. After our talk last week, Ben's school still hasn't made any real changes and I am fed up. I just can't stand the school and I want to move him. I went to tour another preschool, Creme de la Creme. Yes, it's as snooty as the name implies. BUT, I like the structured curriculum and the set up of the school. It's a little more expensive than CC or Primrose Schools ~ but, let's be honest, once you pay this much for preschool/child care, what's a "little" more really :o) Creme de la Creme has uniforms, which I really like ~ no fighting or stressing about what to wear each day! They have a little water park for the summer months, Spanish class, art class, PE, great playground, music class...the list goes on. The kids switch classrooms/activities every 30 minutes. The kids have a "home room" with two teacher and then each class (art, music, Spanish) has a teacher ~ the two home room teachers move with the kids to each class. They have two cooks and three housekeepers on staff. This school just seems more like a school than a daycare. They also have security cameras in each class with monitors in the front lobby. You can watch your kids in any classroom at any time.My other problem is work. I am still not sure if I want to keep working full-time. My six month sabbatical only served to show me how happy I was being a SAHM. On one hand, the pay check is so nice and helps to take away financial pressures, but on the other hand, I feel the pressure to be all these different roles ~ and do them all great...or relatively great. Great at my job, great mom, great wife, great friend, great sister/daughter/auntie...it's overwhelming and I know that without my job I am more focused on my family and I feel good about that. So, our little family is in a state of flux and it doesn't feel good, but we will get through it, I know.
Scott started at his new bank yesterday. So far so good (HA HA HA). The commute sucks. I think he will like the new location, though. Here's hoping!
I haven't downloaded new pictures from my camera, so I just attached one of my favorite pictures from our trip to L.A. and the Enchanted premiere. It made me smile.

Wow, that is absolutely a school and not a daycare. It sounds great, if he goes there you will have to call it something besides school or he will be pretty bitter when he hits kinder and all those amazing perks are gone :)
I feel for you mom. Choosing the right environment for your children is so hard. I have struggled for a long time with Lauren and each time I went through it, it seemed to be all consuming for me - touring, thinking, stressing is it right? is wrong? how will she handle the move? etc. All I can say is you will KNOW when you find the right the place and if you do your research you can feel good about your decsision and not look back - each place will have its drawbacks but you will know you chose the best. Hang in there.
