My soapbox!
I hate to think what they do to the kids when they make a mess!
First day of school at our house... what about you? Do you have kids old enough to go off to school? I hate the first day of school. I know some moms love it and are so happy for school to start. I am not one of those moms though! I love to have my kids home. I am always so sad for them to go off and leave me and prove their independence one day at a time for the rest of their lives.
My baby is 3 :( I know sad huh?
I have been asked by MANY what preschool I am going to put her in. You know what... I'm NOT! So there! Take that society! I am NOT going to send my little baby off everyday to be taught by someone else when I am sitting at home and can be teaching her!
Don't get me wrong... if you are a mama who has to work then preschool might be for you or if you have a child that needs to have the social interactions with other kids then I am not condemning you! If you choose to send your kiddo to preschool then that is what you feel is right, but I know from experience that once they walk out that door for their first day of school there is no turning back the time. :(
I am going to keep my baby home with me as long as I can! I will teach her the things she needs to know to get her ready for school, and I will make sure she has social interaction so that she can deal with school, but dang it I'm not sending her to preschool!
*Stepping down off the soapbox...
So I need to head out now to go get my kids. Hope the first day was fun for them! :) I took pics... I will post tomorrow!

Yes, spend as much time with them as you can while they are young - you won't regret one minute of it! :)
PS- good luck on your move and hang in there. It'll all work out in the end.
I did, however, enroll my son in daycare when he was 4. I regret it. Within two days, the daycare 'teachers' told me he was being picked on, etc, etc. He was bitten within a month on enrollment. The little girl wasn't punished, even with time out, and her parents weren't spoken to. Instead, I was, because 'he started it'.
Um, she wasn't bitten, he was. She wasn't poked, scratched, or anything. He tried to reach across the table for a crayon. *sigh*
More power to mamas who keep thier kids home until they're ready.
