It's Official

P is officially signed up for preschool.  She will be attending the Chelsea Children's Co-op just like her brothers.  Of course, it was very different when the boys attended.  I was a much younger mother then.  We did not have email.  The school was in the basement of a church and one of the parents had to come in and set up the school every Sunday evening. Other parents packed things away every Friday afternoon.  The parent helper jobs are easier now.  The school is now housed in the first floor of this building.

For  many years this was the parochial school for St Mary's Catholic Church. In 1998 the church sold the building to actor Jeff Daniels and his wife who then donated it to the Chelsea Center for the Arts.  The preschool has three classrooms on the first floor. Thursday, P and I attended the open house and got registered for the fall. She really loved her play time there.  She enjoyed play dough, snack, puzzles, art, rice table, the indoor slide, and the play kitchen (where she called Dad on the wood phone). She also got to paint at an easel - where they have APRONS! They even have a library and the teacher let her check out a book.  It will be a long wait until September. She is already asking to go to preschool again! 
She will have to keep busy with her books here.

She already spends a lot of time on her "homework" after the boys are home from school.  She can concentrate very hard on her serious pencil and paper work.
