So yes, we have jumped into the world of organized preschool! This was a very tough decision to come to, mainly because I felt like we had to decide right now if we are going to home school...like it was do or don't and never look back over our shoulders. Well, once I finally relaxed about the whole thing, sought out wisdom from ladies I truly trust, worked through it with JP, and prayed she is enrolled in a fabulous Christian preschool 2 days a week...

And she definitely was excited to see the surprise waiting for her in the car. The new Sweetpea Beauty Veggie Tales Movie. Maybe preschool isn't so bad after all (o: Fortunately she has stopped crying on preschool mornings, but she still doesn't want to go and grips my hand all the way to her room. Her teacher says she's doing great, which is good news for my heart...and she even comes home with extra smiley stickers on her daily report, so she's doing very well. I know she's having fun because she talks about her new friends, but every day her favorite part of the day is seeing me (o:
