Well, the twins I watch went from staying home all day to 4 days a week and adjusted perfectly. They love it and don't like it when they don't have preschool. Lol they go afternoon, and let me tell you, some evenings it's torture cause they are so tired. I would also pick morning so he could still nap. The change in environment could wear him out enough to where he goes back to napping every day.
bazingaa - We're signing up for preschool also. We have our first interview at the end of the month.
I'm pushing for four days, three if they don't have room on the four day one. I'm doing afternoons because we're not even up early enough for morning.
With a new baby in the house I would choose afternoon too. It's nice to Ease into the day even if everyone is up early.
I don't understand preschool that's short like that though - half day for 2/3 days? My DS has preschool basically 8 hours/ day 5 days a week. Now that includes breakfast lunch snack, outside time, and free play. But still.

bazingaa in our district you're assigned am or pm based on your street, so we ended up with pm. E ended up having to drop her nap, which was definitely an adjustment for her but doable. It ends up working out for O because then he can play with E and R before they go to school then he naps while they're gone in the PM. If I had a choice I probably would have chosen am preschool, but it ended up working out. E does four days, which I think is perfect. I know our sitter will sometimes take the kids on an outing with your sitter on fridays when they don't have school, which is nice.

I have a question, are you talking about public preschool that is available district wide or private? Ky public preschool is need based (financial or developmental) in most districts, so public preschool for everyone is quite the foreign concept to me.

I think ours is similar. Our district offers preschool, but it has limited enrollment but priority is given to children with developmental need for at least half of the spots. There's a lottery for the remaining spots and students that do not have a developmental or financial need pay monthly tuition. Luckily my sitter only charges me for half days on the days E has school (she drops her off and picks her up), so my overall childcare spend equals out to what we were paying for full time at the sitter. I've been really happy with our preschool and the curriculum. The teachers there are really great

The one we are looking at is private through a church. I have no idea what my school district does. My issue with the school is location. We live in one city, but in another city's school district. My sitter is south of my house and the school district way north. At this point, for a 3yr old, I'm choosing convenience and going close to sitters house. Next year will probably be my last with our sitter (big tears), so I'll reevaluate things for 2018 when both boys would be in a preschool program.

I believe our district is first come first served, with priority given to developmental needs.
We're signing up double, once thru the speech program, and once thru the regular program in case he doesn't make it in thru speech. The regular program is not free, but extremely affordable and much cheaper than any of the daycares or preschools we've seen around here (they offer whole day care outside of the preschool hours, including care on days they don't have classes if they're doing less than five days a week).
I have a lactation appt tomorrow, so I'll be asking then. I'm not sure if it TT, it hasn't been hurting as much. I've been more frustrated bc C struggles to latch on sometimes, like she will root around and push me away and just gets worked up but will take a while to actually latch on. Becole was helpful and gave me some tips. But I'm wondering now if she is super gassy or has reflux or something.
Did pointing the nipple up help in any more feedings? Sometimes they're just fussy though ya know, no root cause but I hope the LC has more advice.
She was super fussy in the evening and couldn't get it together. By 830 feeding she was better I think changing nipple angles but that's not the main prob. Hope LC gives me some good advice will see.
