My Little Scholar.
Thursday the 24th was a milestone day for us. My sweet little Ladybug started preschool!
Growing up, I never went to daycare or preschool. My sister and I were fortunate enough to have both grandmothers (and our grandfather) live in the same town with us. My parents were even more fortunate that they were willing to take turns keeping us during the day. If they couldn’t watch us, we just went to work with our parents, who had their own business. I loved staying with my grandmas. My Dad’s Mom taught me about quilting and patterns. My Mom’s Mom let us help with the garden (she always let us try to grow watermelons), and taught us to play dominoes. We cooked, played games and fed the birds. I have tons of memories of these ladies, which we often re-hash over family dinners.
I desperately want this for Ladybug. Unfortunately, her grandparents live 800 miles away. Dr. D and I are the only two people here in Michigan that care for Ladybug. While I don’t want to have her in Preschool 5 days a week (she’ll be going 5 days a week soon enough), I do need some time to myself. She has been talking about “going to school” for weeks now, so I started doing research on half-day programs.
Turns out “half-day” means 2-3 hrs. The perfect amount of time for her to start going to school.
Well…she has been to four sessions now, and she loves it. She likes her teachers, her friends, and the activities. Most of all, she like the playground! She looks forward to going back, though it’s terribly hard to get her out of bed in the mornings. (She must not be a morning person. I wonder who she could have gotten that from?)

Living away from family can cause challenges when it comes to raising children. I lived out of state for 6 years (2 in CO, 4 in MN…both dh and I’s families are from OH) and having 2 children (at the time)…I found it hard to find “me” time.

Big milestone! As much as I looked forward to that 2 hour break for myself, when my daughter actually went it felt very strange having her gone.

Even though I worked at the preschool where my son went I still remember his first day like it was yesterday. What wonderful memories you have of your grandmothers.

Ok, I’m home. You can start blogging again. Looks like you haven’t blogged in over a week. What’s up with that?
