The wait could not possibly be long enough. We got a packet of stuff in the mail we have to bring to get her registered, it's phenomenal the amount of paperwork required.

Well, puberty involves less paperwork, so there's that to be said in its favor.

It's more like a transference of paperwork from school registrations to paperwork from phone bills.

On the up side, Wint, the stories they tell when they get home get better and better. Moe2.0 is in K this year. Excellent stuff.

I try to get details of her day from daycare, but a lot of it is "I don't remember". However, she's excited to learn to read and write, she's already pretty good at writing the alphabet and numbers, she has been writing a lot on her magnadoodle. I expect full reports on how school went, her teacher lives next door to us so it should be a pretty easy move from daycare.

The best thing about 21+ clubs is that the only things not 21+ in the place are chicks dressed so as you don't care what sort of insipid sh:t comes out of their mouths.

Someone should ask AC to put something up that would card people before they post here.

That is a seriously cute kid right there. You better lock her up when she get older or your going to have trouble. The boys are going to be knocking down your door.

I still remember Jr's genuine, endearing anger at Pluto's demotion circa 3rd grade, and his recent hilarious explanation of the effects of alcohol.

We wouldn't mind having a third, but we are about to enter a period of massive change in our lives, my wife is going to take an 11 month bachelor program at University Medical Center of Nebraska to get her CLS degree, which means all but quitting her job, pulling the kids out of the daycare center they go to (Kindercare), and basically rearranging our lives and priorities for 11 months. Probably not the best environment to bring a kid into, not to mention she wouldn't be able to complete the program if she gave birth while attending.

Maybe next year.

They grow up so fast! Best get your shotgun and baseball bat. So you can beat and scare off all the boys when she's a teenager.

My sister's kindergarten stories:

1) a group of them played "pregnancy and giving birth" complete with the operating theatre for the birth. My sister came home with two band-aids neatly crossed over her lower *****, to stop the imaginary "bleeding" from the after-birth.

2) My sister got a fast bleeding head-wound, the explanation of which was repeatedly "Gully hit me over the head with the driver", and no more. Eventually it was tracked down that Gully had hit her on the head with a play steering wheel, which was promptly removed from the centre.

3) Nutritious lunches were served, and the kids were allowed as much dessert as they wanted as long as they finished all the food on their main meal lunch plate. My sister was addicted to custard, and couldn't stomach spinach or mushrooms. It later turned out she spent a couple of years tucking spinach and mushrooms into the pockets of her cheeks, below the gum lines, away from her tongue, and going and lining up for one, two or even three servings of custard sometimes. The kisa all went to the bathroom after lunch, where she would spit the offending spinach or mushrooms down the toilet bowl.

4) My sister went to preschool and kindergarten, while I didn't (family finances improved over time). She was three years younger than me, but 10 years ahead of me in table manners, ability to hold a knife and fork, say please and thank you automatically, and not spill food all over herself. It made for some interesting family dynamics over the dinner table for a very long time. Smiley: mad

I was thinking practically the same thing. Not so much the boys thing, but that she's seriously cute.

You could always get lucky Wint, she might turn out to be gay and then you don't have to worry about boys.

Just teach her early about being allowed to say "No", and what peer pressure is, and the importance of saying "no" to it if it's something she doens't agree with. Leave various age-suitable sex-ed books in the bookshelves or around the house. She'll probably be well capable of taking care of herself.

Be there to listen to her in a non judgemental way, when she has problems and questions.
