She Got In...FINALLY!!

Since last year, I have been looking into preschools for Addie. With her Speech Delay and all that, I thought Preschool would be a good thing for her in helping her to develop her Speech and Social Skills. Well living here in Jackson, Preschools seem to be very limited here, well the good ones are. Anyhow, I called last year to get her in this one preschool that is probably the most highly rated one here in town. The Director of the school put me on her wait list at #18 (yikes!). Then last Spring, when it came down for Registration for the 2010-2011 school year...I went in to get Addie signed up only to learn that they had ONE spot left in their 3-4 year old class...and the way the way they choose their spots is by a lottery system. So of course they drew the ONE person's name who's child would get that spot....and you can guess that it wasnt me. ONE person got in that day out of 50 something people. Then they drew more names in the order that you would be put on the wait list...well guess what number ole' Lynsee Turok got???? Thats Right---Number Flippin' 18 for the second time in a row (ridiculous).

I left the school with a mindset that I would never get her into this Preschool and that I would just wait to get her in when we move away from Jackson in August 2011. Well my friends, yesterday that ALL changed when I got a call from the Director of the school saying that Addison could start next Tuesday if we wanted......YES YES and YES!!! Went in today to get all the paperwork and its official. I AM SO EXCITED for this. Addie needs this social/learning environment and Mamma needs that 3 hour break every Tuesday and Thursday. (sigh) my baby is growing up right before my eyes...I am so excited for this stage in her life!!! Thanks for reading..I just had to report my excitement! So as of 1-11-11, Addison will start Preschool at First Presbyterian Church!! (what a cool date to start, eh!!)
