Jackson's preschool is offered free through the public school--it is a lottery process to get in and only 15 kids get into the morning class and another 15 get into the afternoon class. I was quite worried we wouldn't get in, and with kindergarten being full day here I really was desperate to get in and let him have something to transition into a school routine with. So, we did get in and have been going since september.
Anyway, the only price to attend the preschool is that you have to attend parenting classes for 12 weeks. It has been brutal, at times. The teacher is...weeeellll, not my most favorite person, she has strange advice, at times, and enjoys patting herself on the back (which can be humorous too).
So the reason I tell you this, is to tell you a funny story about Bennett. They ask you to not bring children, if possible, but I have to bring Bennett, so he has come along week after week with me. It is a 3 hour class and...well, I thought sacrament meeting was long. :)
Last week Bennett was playing quietly with another little boy when suddenly he dumped a huge box of blocks. 1. making a mess and 2. making an extreme amount of noise. After dumping the box he grinned at the little boy and started hitting some blocks together. I stood up to go talk with him. When he suddenly jumped up and said, "Oh no! Mama's coming! Run!"
It really was one of those shinning moments of parenthood. And I am sure the parenting instructor had some choice thoughts directed at me, but truly I couldn't help but laugh.

That is hillarious! I seriously can't believe it is 3 hours long! I guess it's worth it though in the end. We have to pay 90 bucks a month for Alpine Elementary and that is the REDUCED tuition!
Finally you're blogging!! Silly Doog Boog and Squiny :)
