don't blink....

……because if you did you missed the summer. It is already time for Av to go back to school (Friends). I can’t believe it. All the stressing I did about camp (Cornerstone or CS) and it is over. She ended up really liking it and it was good for her so I am glad I made the decision I did. She has one more week and as always I am sad to see it end. She did really well there and seemed really happy. I am partly sad to send her back to Friends but I will because I know how much she loves it there and how good that school was/is for her. CS has been really really convenient. They feed them breakfast, lunch and 2 snacks. So I don’t have to pack any lunches! That is so nice for me plus in the mornings I get her up, get her dressed and off we go. She eats there. It has been so nice not struggling with her to eat every morning. She just does not want to eat first thing when she gets up and she is such a good sleeper that I have to wake her up everyday so I don’t want to get her up any earlier. It has really cut down on my groceries too, but the best part about her eating there is that it is getting her to eat different things that she would never eat for me nor would I ever pack in a lunch. Meatloaf, veggie burgers and fish sticks. Not really the all-natural/organic stuff I try to feed her but they do have to follow the state regulations for nutritional content. I also am really impressed with the education she has received. They have a letter and a theme of each week. They do art, read books, and talk about the letter and theme all week. Like last week the letter was Y and so they glued the letter Y and pieces of yarn to a piece of paper. It was really cute. Another reason it has been more convenient for me is because it is a preschool with day care hours so there is no fall break, winter break, spring break and summer break. It is only closed for holidays. Friends has fall break in Oct and I am going to have to find a sitter for her since I work. I am glad Camille is staying at CS for now. Next year we will reevaluate and see which one we like better and maybe put them both at the same school.
