And If that’s what will get him to potty train… well, I planned for him to go to school eventually.

We took a walk down to the “School” (daycare/preschool) that he might attend in the fall. Yes, walking distance, about 3 blocks from home. we got to look in the classrooms, and we got to meet the ladies who would be his teachers. Beeba 1 got to meet a couple of the kids who would be in his class.

The facility is not bad, it is close, and there are lots of play things both in and out of the building, and nice well-enclosed play areas for outside. They are far better equipped than the preschool I worked at before he was born.

The Curriculum sounds appropriate to his age, and assuming we can afford it, he could go for mornings only, and come home either before or after lunch, to nap here.

Now to wait and find out how much it will cost. We are thinking he would start in the fall, like a regular school year, and he will get a taste of “school” on a regular basis. I hope it turns out to be something we can afford. I think it would be good for him.

He would spend 1 yaer with the 3 year olds, and the next year would be the 4 year old/pre-k room. I am a strong proponent of being home with your kids if you can, but having worked in a preschool, I also know how much the structure and diversity can be positive for children. so if he does not go this fall, he for sure will go the next. but I think I need him to go this fall…

and then… if he goes to school in the fall, we can think (think, mind you, not automatically do) about another child.

On another note, the Mothers day Gift I made for my mom.  Can you tell I love her?  This is the Jenny Bag, from Wired Up Designs Jenny bag pattern, with a matching Wallet from the Lovely Lady Pattern, also from Wired Up designs.  I love these patterns!

Mine is, anyways.  I love him dearly, of course, but he comes up with the weirdest things to say.

Apparently, I check my email too often, because he told me today that he needed to email me, and proceeded to hand me an old receipt he’d been playing with.  I asked him what he thought an email was, and he told me the receipt was email.

Also, lately, I must be working too much, because his favorite line curently, if I want him to change gears and do something, is “not this minute, I am working” or “I need to work first”. and, “I’m trying to work!”

So, apparently, I need to spend more playtime with the kids, lol.

On the front of my personal projects, I finished a new Jenny Bag… this one is for my mom.  She picked out and bought the materials, and I did the work for a mothers day gift.  I have to say, it looks really cool… when I can get outside for pics (its been cold and wet here) I’ll have to take some.  I almost wish she didn’t know about the purse, I’d be tempted to keep it.
