I'm not so sure he's going to miss them... honestly, I thought he would, but the moment we stepped into his new classroom at last night's Open House, he was hooked. New toys, new friends, new teachers - AWESOME! He didn't want to leave. Seriously. I told him we had to go home to sleep but we'd be coming back in the morning, and he insisted he wanted to sleep there!!!
This morning we headed out bright and early with his new nap mat and lunch bag (he didn't need these things at CCOA) for Clark's first day in the Otter Class at the Valley View Elementary Childhood Development Center. One little girl was crying because she didn't want her mom to drop her off... Clark ran straight over to the boys playing on the carpet and said "Bye Mama!"
When I went to pick him up after work he was hot, sweaty, and VERY happy at their little outdoor play area, and yet again he did not want to go home.
This new preschool will allow us to have just one drop off and pick up everyday, it will save us money each month, and many of his classmates will continue with him into elementary school. Most of the kids in the program belong to teachers and staff at the school (or in the district), so it really is a great situation - made even better by how much our little Otter seems to love it!

It's so great that Clarkie loves his new school so much! And not only is it less expensive and easier to drop off and pick up - but they probably won't take the wrong day off for the July 4th holiday. Good job on the school change!
Right - he'll have more days off but at least they'll be the same days Aurora has off! Thank goodness we have grandparents in town half the year to help during those holidays ;)
They're very nice at both places, I'm glad Clarkie is happy. love, susanna
It's nice that Clarkie is so adaptable to change.
