When they said August, I thought they meant the end of the month. Nope! It starts August 9!! That's so soon. I'm not sure I'm ready. I'm not sure he's ready, either. I know he's going to cry when we leave him. He cries every Sunday when we leave him in the nursery at church, so I know school is not going to be any different.
There are only 4 kids in his class. We already know one of them, Ethan. Will and I are friends with Ethan's parents, and Ethan has been in our Kindermusik class. Ethan and Garrison are both only children, so that should be interesting - neither have ever had to share!
He has to have a nap mat. Seriously? Until about three weeks ago he took naps on our bed. And now he's going to lay on a mat on the floor? I wish his teachers good luck with that one! My mom and I are going to make his nap mat, so I've spent several hours online looking for just the right material. I know I want the blanket part to be minky. But finding a cute material for the mat part has proven harder than I thought. I'll see something cute, show it to Will, and within two seconds I know if he thinks it's too girly or not. The only material he's approved so far has guitars on it....go figure!
The program is from 9am - 2pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We can't drop him off before 8:55, and if we are late picking him up, we get fined. Will and I are not the most punctual people. Giving us a 5 minute time frame is going to be challenging!
We also have to pack Garrison's lunch every day. He's such a picky eater. I can't send him a smoothie every day to school. Are the teachers going to help him eat? They can't expect a 17 month old to feed himself. And what if I send something and he refuses to eat it?
Let the adventure begin...
