But she began to complain that she wanted a chance to buy her lunch at school occasionally, so we worked out a deal. If she did a good job eating her lunch Mon – Thurs, [...]

There is some dancing, but mostly it’s running around wild. They have food in the cafeteria for sale (pizzas, bbq, ice cream) and a DJ run dance in the gym. [...]

Saturday September 12, 2009This is our first real “Back to School”, since it’s our first year with a kindergartner. After a lovely summer, fall made it presence known – our first day of school dawned cloudy and cool, threatening showers.

Tuesday December 2, 2008Last Wednesday, Sam’ preschool class had a little Thanksgiving party for the parents. It was very similar to Wendy’s party last year. The class wore their handmade costumes and looked adorable. The kids performed a few Thanksgiving songs, and then we all enjoyed some treats. It was fun to observe how Sam interacted, versus Wendy [...]
