You go, James!

Okay, so here's my chance to brag on my Jamsey-poo. He got into big boy school! There is a pre-K in Sanford that has 1/2 four-year olds with disabilities and 1/2 four-years olds who are developing typically. Kids "try out" (they call it screening, but what can they really know in a 30 minute screening?) and they try to determine who will be the best role models for the children with disabilities. James got picked! How cool is that! I guess he did use his "pleases and thank yous"! He'll start next school year, which is great because he and Nathanael would have had to be in the same class at daycare. This pre-K is a little more like kindergarten. He'll go to the cafeteria for lunch, have gym class and art class. But, he'll still get to take a nap, play on the playground alot, and other typical 4 year old stuff. Best of all, it's cheaper than daycare! And the child to teacher ratio is 1:5. The daycare regulations are 1:15 once they turn 3. Can you imagine having 15 three year olds by yourself all day! Augh!! Anyway, James is super excited and I'm super proud.

Way to go James! We have no doubt you'll be the role model and leader for your friends for years to come.

We miss you all and cannot wait to see you in April!
