mommystacey...your son is about to just turn two? girl, you've got time! i put my daughter in a two year old program when i first moved to copa and she liked it. i did as well, but i didn't have her in long. i mainly put her into a program b/c i had just had my second child and the older was acting up horribly and thought she needed something to keep her busy. she was about 2 1/2 when she started. now, she is going to preschool through the musd. she's almost 4 and now i do think it's time for her to go to school. she's a late birthday, so she'll either be in preschool again next year, or she'll hopefully go to kindergarten (depending on what the musd decides for the next year.) anyway, if i had to do it over again, i would not have put her in "school" at 2 1/2. when i took her out, i had signed her up for some tumbling classes and thought she got a lot out of those classes. she seemed to really like tumbling. also, i was so worried about leaving her when she first started school. i cried the first day, of course. but i quickly realized she wasn't shedding tears for me when i left! kids are much more resiliant than we give them credit for. i think it's going to be tougher on you than your child, but you'll get through it as well. i remember the first few times class would start. most moms would kind of linger and talk and slowly walk to their cars, not wanting to leave their babies. by about week three, we were bolting out of there as fast as we could to have mommy alone time! it quickly became a joke of how fast we could get out of the parking lot! |
