The thought has crossed my mind that preschool might be really good for him. He has been baby-ed and maybe a couple mornings a week of being independent would be good for him. My main reason though is for his speech development. I will try and gauge how willing his teachers will be to work with him, not just let him get by with lazy articulation. The only preschool I have been willing to look at is a small one that is 5 minutes from my house. It only has 40 students total and 5 kids in his class. I'm going tomorrow to check it out with Steve. He would go Tues/Thurs from 9:00-1:30. Kind of a long day if you ask me! Although those two days Micah, Isaac and I will fly through school and maybe be able to do some special projects that we aren't normally able to do. So I'm excited about that prospect!
I figure too when Serena, Gidstina and Gideon come home it will be good as well for me to be able to give Gideon some one on one time when Andrew is at preschool.
This is Andrew and Gideon's table in the school room. He hardly ever sits at it. He always wants to be at the big table with everyone else. And that is fine! I love the fact that I have a clear plastic cover over our school table that I got at Wal-mart for 2.00 dollars a yard. Andrew can color with markers and get it on the table and it just wipes right off! It has really been great because he will sit down, get out a piece of paper and the markers and color away and I don't worry a thing about it! Now he does get marker on himself and sometimes on his clothes, but I'm over it! We go places now on a regular basis and he has a blue streak accross his cheak and I'm fine with it!
