Spinning

My head is spinning lately! We are touring different facilities to enroll Carter in a 2 years old preschool type class. We have found one that has come HIGHLY recommended with a pretty little price tag to go along with it! It is only one day a week and by the time we register him he will be 2.5. So he will have a year of that! I think it will be so great for his socialization. Carter has no siblings (yet) no cousins and is hardly ever around kids. In the beginning of my pregnancy I was pretty sick. I pretty much liad on the couch from November- February. That was not great for Carter, but I did what I did just to make it through the day. This has been the hardest pregnancy on me yet, with the sickness all day for the first 17 weeks and the 4x weekly headaches that soon followed. I did what I could.

That being said we are excited to have him also enrolled in a Gymboree class with Daddy on Saturdays! It will be great bonding time! We are also on a wait list for a private swim school. One of the MOST important things you can teach your children is how to swim...it can be life saving. Carter LOVES the water so we are really encouraging that! IF I can get signed up anywhere. I am wait listed it seems for whatever I see to try to sign him up for! I never realized that everyone must enroll their children the exact day enrollment opens!

That opens me up to Preeschool. Carter will attend preschool in the 2014-2015 calendar year. So far away right? WRONG! Registration for that begins THIS FALL! So here I am literally scrambling to do all my research. I spent about 6 hours TOTAL this past two weeks, researching, emailing, calling etc. I have so far narrowed it down to four schools we will be touring. All the way from park district to private! I want to keep my options open!

So here I am almost 8 months pregnant, with a spinning head on Preeschools! Its crazy! Who would have thought you have to start all of this mumbo jumbo so early!

I am so thankful I am able to be home with my children 4 days a week. It is HARD ENOUGH being away from them the three days I am. Just for simple things like "When Carter starts preschool on Wednesdays which is a day I work, who the heck would pick him up and drop him off?" Small things. I dont know how some parents do it. I do know why SO MANY stay at home. For me I love my job and could never leave my work family or my clients who have become family, but man its hard!

Carter starts speech therapy on Fridays one day a week. I can't wait for that to begin!

I will leave you with some pictures of my Handsome man, my wonderful dog and Emery's closet getting all ready!

I bet he will love the speech therapy, I think they do lots of fun stuff for him.

Can you put him in the program you are putting him in the fall for the next year too if you like that? Some programs may be daycare based that are just as good or even better than official 'preschool' programs so don't let the official title stress you out. I have no, no idea what we'll do the following year for preschool, I plan to wait and see how this year goes and continue doing it if it seems to be working.

He is so super cute. Thanks for sharing the pics. Finding the right preschool is a lot of work. You will know which is the best for Carter and yourself. Best of luck
