Preschool moms
Sophia goes to her first day of preschool tomorrow, but I know some of you started earlier. So have you picked up any tips? I've got her bag all ready to go with the things she needs (change of clothes, two pairs of undies, socks, contact info, tuition check, jacket just in case). I've also got all our clothes laid out as well as her hair ties/bows, and our shoes so there is no hunting in the morning. We've been working on her morning "to do list" so she can basically get herself ready in the morning. Anything else?
I'm on the board of her preschool so obviously am confident in my choice, but now that we are on the eve of sending her I'm getting nervous. Can you tell?
Re: Preschool moms
I just made a schedule out of pictures for
breakfast
getting dressed
brushing hair (which takes 15 minutes here so it's an event in and of itself)
brushing teeth
getting shoes on
sunscreening and/or coats and hats
That way when I'm busy with Ana I can ask K to check her schedule.
We lay clothes out the night before like you do. That helps (me) a ton.
This doesn't apply to you much but I've learned to put Ana in her carrier instead of letting her walk holding K's hand like usual, because otherwise I can't tear her away from the preschool toys/playground. She want's to stay so badly.
Oh and playclothes. They get so messy.
Other than that, we're pretty low key about preschool. Maybe it's because I don't love ours though.
