I'd been struggling with which preschool to put Dylan in for months. This one I'd like the facility. Another one I'd like the teachers. Another one I'd like the kids to teacher ratio. But in all my searching, nothing felt right. Nothing was "perfect". So I'm so thankful mom could come out and help us with Dylan when Amanda went out on maternity leave Oct 1. This took a lot of pressure off me.
During mom's 1st week here, she ran into our old neighbor, Shannon, and explained why she was visiting. Shannon told mom about a preschool at Cal State San Marcos. I didn't even know this existed! So off we went for a tour... and it was love at first sight! And the best news of all- they had a spot open in the 2-year program (usually there is a wait list).
Just to make sure I wasn't feeling "right" out of pure exhaustion of looking at preschools for weeks and week and weeks, I had mom go back and look at a few of the ones I had toured previously. Mom agreed- Cal State San Marcos (CCLC) was the ONE! Finally!
If mom hadn't come visit, she wouldn't have taken Dylan to the Discovery Museum, and she wouldn't have run into Shannon, and we wouldn't have known about this preschool. Everything happens for a reason!
Dylan started on Nov 2, the day after MeMe headed home to NC. So far the transition has been easy. He loves his new teacher, Miss Kayla, and loves all his new friends! The only downside is, he's having so much fun he doesn't want to nap. This is a big change for the kid that used to nap 3-4 hours a day! He will lay in his bed quietly, but just won't sleep. Luckily, he's still happy Dylan, even with no nap, so we aren't worried about it. We've just been putting him to bed a little early each night.
1st day at new school... he just sat right down and started eating breakfast :)
