Movin' On Up

We have also been meaning to report that Clara's move from the "Twos" room where she has been since she was about 18 months old to the Pre-C room is imminent.  She will begin the transition next week.  Our Longtime Readers may recall that the pre-school gauntlet at our KinderCare proceeds illogically thusly: Pre-C, to Pre-A, to Pre-B.  Current enrollment does not actually support having Pre
-A open, so the order is Pre-C to Pre-B.  Longtime Readers may also recall that one's child passes through the Pre-C room, in which the focus is potty training, even if one's child is potty trained.  Longtime Readers may also recall that when Joe moved to Pre-C, the room was manned by one teacher and assorted "floats" and given that the focus was potty training, it seemed that if it didn't happen to be your child's 10 minutes in the bathroom, he or she was running about like a banshee.

We might harbor some bad memories of the pre-school room gauntlet and, in particular, the preschool-C room.

But, it is now staffed by two teachers, the lead of which, Ms. Jenny, has been there for a while now, and seems to be good people.  To be fair, she's been set up for success better than her predecessor who was trying to manage potty training for multiple children as well as execute curriculum such that parents like us weren't making appointments with management to inquire what exactly our children were doing since the daily doings board, for example, hadn't been updated in days?

So we have high hopes that all will be well.  Clara of course, has been using the potty with aplomb for months and months now.  She has, also, for two weekends in a row now, on both Saturday and Sunday, woken up after her nap dry--!!!!!  (She has been doing this at school practically since she first started using the potty, but her naps at home are longer and so she would often have an accident.)  Clara is excited to make the move because she will be reunited with her pals, Daphne and Silvia.  AND, there is this: Joe's room will be her drop-off and pick-up room--!!!!!  The dynamic duo will begin and end their school days together--until the fall.  (Until the fall--!!!!!)
