Oops! Yes, they have the Labor Day (Monday only) holiday. I'll be off that day, so I was overlooking it as a school holiday. I should say, no additional time away from the office until Thanksgiving, when the kids get a longer break than I get holiday time.

Yes, little gal goes to a full-day, five day Pre-K class and is attending the same school as little guy. So nice to have them in one place. I'm thrilled with her teacher -- this woman has an incredible resume -- left her tenured position as chair of a preschool education dept at a local college to get back into the classroom. Her full-time aide is a former DFPS worker and adoptive mom. (I met her last year.) Lots of emphasis on child development. I know little gal will thrive there. Her first day went well. She chattered a bunch at home about her cubby (storage container in her classroom for her things) and sang several different renditions of a 'Good Morning' song that they'll sing every morning.

I am so thankful that both of my kids enjoy learning. Even though it can be hard for little guy, he loves to go to school.
