My baby was all ready for her first day of preschool last week! She looked so cute in the little uniforms that they have to wear! I had found this charter school program last winter that was free. I was so excited that I signed Lacey up right away and she got in! I have spent the past 6 months thinking that Lacey would be going to preschool in the afternoons on Monday, Wednesday, and every other Friday. I signed up for my own classes at UNM for Tuesdays and Thursdays so that there wouldn't be a conflict of schedules.

Imagine my surprise when I take Lacey to school on Monday, the 2nd day of school (or so I thought), and the teacher asked where Lacey was last Thursday. I found out that the preschool is EVERY after noon Monday through Thursday and every other Friday. Way to go mom! There is absolutely no way she can go because of my own classes. Lacey doesn't seem to be very disappointed, which is good.

So...the biggest bummer is that I know Lacey is ready to learn. She's my little smartie and I was looking forward to her being able to be challenged this year. I have decided that its time for me to step up to the plate and try to do more things with her that would help her learn and be ready for kindergarten. I am horrible at arts and crafts and all those kindergarten like things....so I am very open to suggestions for fun ideas!

Here's to the next adventure at trying to be a better mom/teacher for the next year!

And here's one more picture....
