Preschool...kind of like Private School!

Oooo squee I'm so excited! We just found out Sadie has a spot at a Preschool that I thought was not going to happen....okay history:

- a friend of mine told me about this Parent-participation Preschool in the beginning of May. She's a teacher and has very high standards for Preschools and was telling me all about it and I completely fell in love with the philosophy of the school...not so much for my soon-to-be two year old, but more for when she's 3 and 4...but as we know, you gotta get them in at 2 to secure a space for when they are older...anyhow, loved the sound of this preschool...until she told me, oh the application deadline was early February....for September?!!? Are you kidding me?? Who knew! So I raced home, looked up the site and confirmed what friend had told me...it really looked wonderful! I called them up and they also confirmed what friend had told me - deadline was February and classes were full. Bummer :( I kind of gave up on looking for Preschools after that

And yes my friends...everything happens for a reason...fast forward to yesterday.

- same friend emails my Mums Group, that they have 4 spots open at the Preschool as they've decided to increase the class size. As quickly as I could dial, I had left a message on their voicemail...very civil and very parent-like I might add - although all I wanted to say was "Pick Little Miss!!!" Well we found out this morning, a spot has been set aside for her and quicker than quick I had the application filled and the Registration Fee check written out!

YEY!

I called my Mum immediately and squeeled to her as she explained to me this is how excited she was when I got into private high school...although I did have to sit an Entrance Exam...all Sadie had to do was promise to turn 2 in September and have her Mummy dial the Preschool's number quickly.

Yes folks...preschool in California...may as well be the same process as Private School in Montreal! But at least I know my wee one will be in a great preschool program leading up to Kindergarten!

Okay, September...how many days away?!?
