Lydia attended her new preschool today and did very well. Just to back track a little, I received a phone call from the Santa Monica School District on Monday saying that there was an opening for Lydia in their preschool program (LAUP). I didn't expect a call so soon because there was supposedly a 20 child waiting list. I wasn't as excited about Lydia switching schools as I thought I would be because 1) we had finally established a routine, 2) the new school would be from 7:45-11:15 and we aren't early birds and it would be cutting into my current programs that end at 12, 3) now we would be paying a nominal fee, and 4) the star rating was the same as the current school and not higher as I had expected. We finally decided that attending this new school would help Lydia transition to kindergarten (her old school was out of someone's house) and the teachers would pay more attention to her (her old school was also somewhat of a daycare).
After dropping her off at school this morning, Trung and I believed that we had made the right decision; the teacher was very professional and the classroom was very clean and orderly. Now if only we could get the kids to bed earlier so that don't wake up so sluggish.
Teacher Flavia...when I picked Lydia up, I asked her if she like Teacher Flavia. When she didn't answer, Sophie piped up, "I like Flavia. Phie phie likes Flavia." Then she paused, "who's Flavia?" :P

A welcome sign
Exhausted from her first day of school and from waking up an hour earlier than usual.
