Well we registered Grant for preschool today. We have been looking at and researching preschools in the area for a few months now. We (this means me. I did all the work and made the decision and Jared just went along with it)decided on a really neat place called Corner Canyon Academy. Grant will be going m/w/f for 2 1/2 hours a day. One thing I really like about this school is that they really focus on reading and phonics, which I think is so important. Another thing they work are life skills and I think that is also a great asset to have. I am so excited for Grant to start this new experience but I am also very nervous. I guess he might be a little sheltered. He has really only ever gone to my mom's (if you don't know she does have a daycare in her home) Other than that he has a stay at home mommy and he is an only child. He is very laid back and sometimes he lets other kids take advantage of him. We have tought him that is not acceptable to be mean or to hit, usually he is very good at remembering that, even if he is being picked on. He is definitely not a wuse but I dont want him to be picked on. I want this to be an incredible experience for him. I really hope that he can love school. And I pray that he likes to read. I have always loved to read and hope that he can too. Another thing I worry about is things like feild trips, I am a little over protective I guess. Jared says I am just too controlling and that might be part of it too. But isnt it natural for a mommy to worry about her kids, especially since he is my only one and he is going to be out in the world all on his own. He is a curious little guy and sometimes he wanders off.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I am feeling so many things about it right now. I am a little sad that my baby is not a baby anymore, but I am also so proud of the little boy that he is becoming. Over all I think that when Grant starts school he will hit the ground running and not look back. Most of all I am just so excited to see what lies ahead for him and for us as a family. We are definitely looking forward to the future we are going to share.

I'm anxious to hear how Grant likes preschool! I did some research on preschools with the idea of putting Alex in this fall, but decided to keep him home and enroll him next year. Let me know if you like Corner Canyon, it was one of the preschools on my list that I was considering.
