Preschool.

This picture just about sums it up. Presley, who couldn't wait for me to leave her at Princess Camp and on those initial days of school, now is almost in tears every Tuesday and Thursday and I get her ready for school.


She participates in dance, but won't do the karate class. I came early a few days just to watch and Presley was sitting out, not playing with the other kids. The next week during karate I showed up early and did the class with her. I have finally resorted to bribery--a huge hand full of candy corn if she participates in the whole karate class.

Let's hope she is motivated.

**For those who want to know we are just about at the half-way point in the 100 lessons book to learn to read. I am so proud of Presley. She ready the short stories everyday and even loves to read signs when we are about town (her favorite was when she learned she could read n-o-r-d-s-t-r-o-m). I highly recommend the book**

I really hope Presley starts loving school! Next time I see you, will you tell me about this reading program you are doing with her? I would love to look into it.

Wow, impressive. At least she is learning to read the right things. I have no good advice for you. Maybe host some playgroups at your house with some of the kids in the different classes. I dunno.

Wow, good job on the reading but to bad on the preschool. Hopefully it gets better.
