Back to School

Finding a preschool in Frisco, Texas is quite a task.  Most places have LONG waiting lists, and pretty pricey tuition costs.  After calling probably 15 different places, I finally had decided that my little ones would just stay out of preschool for the year.

But then...
We visited a fabulous new church, which is now our church home.  And during that very first Sunday morning, they announced that they would be opening a preschool in September.  And guess what?  They had spots for my children.  And guess what else?  They were looking for teachers!!!

Now I gotta tell you.  Until that Sunday morning, I had absolutely NO desire to be back in the classroom.  Especially a preschool classroom.  But as I sat there reading the information, I began to feel incredibly excited, even hopeful, about the possibility of teaching at THIS school. 

So I talked to the children's director, interviewed, and got the job!  It's a super small program this year, but we will be growing quite a bit each year.  But it is the PERFECT size for Brooks and Presley.  And it's the perfect size for me.  I have 7 adorable 2 year olds in my class (including one that is extra precious and shares my last name).  That's right.  I am Presley's teacher.

Now as fabulous as this sounds, it has proven to have its challenges.  But it's only for one year.  And I love the one on one time that I get to spend with her.  I had so much time with just Brooks before Presley was born.  So this gives me a chance to have some time with just Presley.

Brooks' teacher is Ms. Jackie.  And she is absolutely, positively perfect for him.  He is getting to be such a big boy!  And although we were kind of thinking about holding him back one more year, it's looking more and more like he will be starting Kindergarten in the Fall.
