Great doll house Joss!!! I don't think we'll do pre-school either...we'll see though!
Will definitely do JK :)

how does that work since she's a December baby Tiff? I'm sure it's been mentioned but I really don't remember right now :blush:
Click to expand...

I believe its the calender year that they register for. We can either put her in next year and she'll be the youngest in her class or wait and put her in next year and have her be one of the oldest.

I think it'll depend on her if we put her in or not. It definitely won't hurt her to go every other day and make friends and whatnot. :mrgreen: Buuuut, she's very anxious too so if its too upsetting I don't mind waiting.
 
Isaiah will only be 3 when he starts too, and we WILL send him. He is totally ready now, but they won't take him now, lol. I would have much rathered to send him this year than send Zoe. He is more ready than she is in more aspects than one.
 
I've never heard of junior kindergarten :shrug:

I don't know what we'll do as far as preschool. I don't plan to work until the twins are at least 2, so I doubt we'd pay for him to go if he's home with me. I'll probably continue going to our playgroup and as he gets older, maybe Strong Start (do they have those in other provinces?). I'd consider putting him in the french immersion preschool that is run out of the elementary school he'll eventually go to when he's four. Being a January baby, he'll be oldest in his class and will probably be ready for more formal schooling the year before kindergarten. Honestly though we just plan to decide as we go.

Btw I miraculously passed the gestational diabetes test despite my OB being sure I'd fail it. They might make me take it again in a month, but at least I can eat like a normal person in the meantime :thumbup:
 
Love the doll house joss. I have bought J a few things, and i have some ideas for other family members, but waiting till we do black friday in the states to start shopping.

I never did JK it was just Kindergarten... and i was in french immersion till i was in grade 5. i would defo consider doing the same for J but i doubt tim would go for it. he isn't big on the french language (:dohh:)

Starting operation "baby sleep on her own" i don't know how its gonna go, what im gonna do, or how long its gonna take.... but i moved her crib into our room - a step in the right direction.
 
It's interesting to find out what everyone's plans are :)

We are kind of decide as we go to with most of our decisions Amanda :rofl: The only reason I'm thinking we need to get this JK thing figured out now is that it will be hectic after the twins get here so getting it done or at least figured out beforehand would help I think :haha: And thanks for the info Joss! I told Stan about it and he agreed we need to go ahead and look to see what school is best for us (I think at this age it's more of what is easiest for us to get her to) and find out when registration starts :thumbup:

I would go by how ready you think Claire is as well Tiff :) Hannah has really come far in the last few months in being away from us. I was surprised she'd actually do classes away from me! (though I know that Claire's personality isn't the same and she does seem more anxious for now than Hannah--though do you remember how bad Hannah's separation anxiety was at a year/year and a half old? :haha:)

Good luck with the move Sara!

We watched The Next Iron Chef last night and it was pretty good I guess. No real surprises though so far. :lol:
 
Well, we decided to say screw it and use the day to clean and pack and leave early tomorrow.
Feels like a much smarter decision.
I am trying to convince Simon to make dinner and get Tobe to bed. :haha: Mama and Dada are too tired!
 
Ugh it's only 3pm here and I'm exhausted. But Shawn is away at a shoot all evening, so no laying down in bed for me for another 4.5 hrs. Oh I can't wait to crawl into bed ... I'm fantasizing about how wonderful it will be.
 
i really hope that when i get pregnant its a: defo not with twins :haha:, b: when tim will do more stuff with J. i can't even fathom going to bed for a nap and leaving her with him, they would be in the room after 20 min's asking when i was gonna get up :dohh: I can't wait till he'll take her to the store with him or something... one day SIGH
 
J is only 7 months. Alot of men feel more interested and confident with a toddler. Shawn took Andrew out a little bit when Andrew was that age, but I was always packing a diaper bag and pumped BM and baby snacks. Now it's up to Shawn to bring anything he needs and it's alot more laid back since he can eat and drink the same things as us.
 
Def gets way easier for them to hang out with Dad. Helena never went out alone with Brian, and now will, because he doesnt need to pack anything at all.` (I say easier, but she has ran into a womans bathroom and locked herself in the stall when she has been with him hahahahah)

Amanda - That is GREAT news :happydance:
I don`t think we have Strong Start here. I will be putting Helena in Mandarin Immersion, most likely. Not sure what we are doing next year. I think she is ready for a full day class. Brandi - Same with Helena. She was def ready before she was allowed to go.
 
Nathan still rarely takes Alia anywhere without me....except maybe across the road to his parent's house (where his mom does everything for her haha). And he still expects me to "prepare" her whenever he does take her outside to play or somewhere he needs a diaper bag.
 
HAHAHHAAAA Tom still expects everything prepared for both kids... Like seriously, when I work I have bottles, some snacks out, clothing picked out, diaper bag etc...

Jasmin will definately be ready for JK... I hope we can move soon, its stressing me out because I dont know what schools to even consider since I dont know where im going to live.
 
Stan was pretty good with newborn Hannah, probably better than me tbh but I do much better with toddler Hannah than he does :haha: He's told me a few times that he can not fathom taking her some of the places I take her :shrug: but he is really great about taking her places like the playground and to swim class and doing things in the evenings and always has been. A lot of guys do need time to adjust though as Amanda said, they are much more comfortable with the toddler age than the newborn (probably not as scary for them?)

As for prepping stuff/planning I still do most of that as well :rofl: Stan's great but organizational skills are not his strong suit ;)
 
You guys make my husband sound like Dad of the Year when it comes to baby prep. He knows how to prepare a bottle of milk if necessary, prepare the baby's supper if I'm not home, pack a diaper bag, pretty much everything...but he still hasn't taken her out alone, and he's NEVER taken all three kids somewhere by himself. He says he's not brave enough for that.
 
oh Stan can do those things and will if I ask :lol: but he is forgetful/not organized and doesn't think ahead that taking a water bottle to the playground is a good idea, or that snacks after swim class are a must etc. :rofl:
 
ya I never said Nathan wasn't CAPABLE of doing those things. :rofl:

It usually goes something like this "I'm going to take Alia outside to play, do you want to get her ready?"
