| Matvey the Cat died today, so I feel like I should let this blog go.
I found him on the lawn this evening; either hit by a car, shot or attacked. He was my first kitty ever and we all loved him. He was 2 and a half years old.
I have another blog, http://www.xanga.com/RufusBeans so I'll post there, There are certain peoples' blogs I can't access using the rufus blog, so I might have to make another a username to read those blogs.

| Bean is starting a trial month of gymnastics today. I am so nervous! There's the money, yes (costs 1 skein of yarn a month) but there is also other things like: she is going to start in the 3-4 class, not the 18 month-3 class. and preschool and dance and swimming..will she just be so worn out?
But nothing for her to do here..due to the fact that several of our floors are underconstruction, and all her toys are still packed. she colors all day long..watches teletubbies...colors some more...watches Aurther..goes to the playground...colors until bedtime....

| K introduced herself at the park several times today as "Princess" where the heck did that come from, LOL! She also clapped her hands at V tonight
and said "You're being naughty!"
Not a word from the preschool yet. Parent Orientation is the 30th and you are suppost to be assigned at time for the child to meet their teacher before then. Not a word. Getting nervous.

| Ok preschools.
This one was nice. It was in a church, but only 2 small
rooms. Smallsmall rooms. There were only 4 kids signed up
so far. Pro/con? I don't know. Less kids to choose
best friend from.
Its also far away. Its about 15 minutes of driving. That worries me abit in the winter.
Con: Kids are not from Fairview, no local buddies
Pro: teachers were nice and Katya LOVED the toys
But I don't know..she said "oh we start with colors, all eight of
them! " ugh colors seem a bit beyond Katya, she's known
them since before she could talk. what about learning to cut,
learning hold a pencil, leaning to write the letters.
Con: no outside playground. they do activities in the church rec room.
Looks like it rents the church.
$70 a month. (preschool #1 $68, preschool #2 $65)
#1 and #2 are also in churches. I guess thats why we can afford them.
#1 in Fairview, but have to cross
active railroad tracks. 3 miles away. Nice play
ground. Big class rooms. Lots of classrooms.
Application was gruiling though. Only one spot left.
#2 along the way to #3 but
closer. In a church, haven't visited but we drove by and the
church is under construction, could see about 3 classrooms through the
window.
How important are
academics? How important is play? I don't know but I know
what it feels like to go to Kindergarden and be the only one who's
never been to preschool
I think we're going to apply for #1 and if that spot is filled,do #3. She can always do a more academic program next year.
