CHinese Pre School Update

Today I ran into one of the co-owner of preschool and she said it has been postponed until next year. Apparently, her neighbors do not agree into having the extra traffic in the neighborhood and to rent a facility must have two bathrooms. Anyhoo, so that is done.

Last Pre School- Bugs!

Bug Collection: Pill bug (rolly polly), beetle, lady bug...etc

An un expected guest to pre school today. The hummingbird flew away before class started.

W as a bug.

Fun 3 days

No Nap Mom!

At 3 yrs and 3 quarters old my son proclaimed "No Nap Mom!" But he can't be on ipad all day either it really is lazy parenting. Good about no naps is that he sleeps well at night.

At almost 20 months old, A is very demanding. She wants to play in the utensil drawer, squeez banana, eat whatever your having and getting into the dog bowl. Her words are plentiful, brush, shoe, even an occasional sentence here and there, where are you? I want down.

I really want to enjoy my kids, I feel like time is flying by so fast.

More stress, No thanks

I am having second thoughts about joining you both on this journey.

Please know that its not about having Kara on board or that it will be in her basement. My major concern is having my son in class with me. In my experience, he is especially naughty and often, my teaching time is dealt with disciplining him. The thought of a 3 hour block, even though only two days, makes me very nervous.

Honestly, I'm really stressed about this matter.  After careful consideration, I just don't think it would be fair to the "paying" students or the globetrotter brand. 

For that reason, I will have to pass. 

If it were just me, I would join you in a heartbeat. Since I have two variables (my son and daughter) , I cannot do a job I would be proud of. It is my hope, that you get this message in time for you to find someone else.

I hope you understand.

Tonight I cancelled the pre school oppurtunity.  With the changes of not having another class, a lot of extra work and stress. Not interested. Enjoy my last stress-free year with my kiddos.

Hi Kara and Aino,

I have a change of heart.  Ideally, I would like to have my son in another class while we are there. As I mentioned, he is really naughty for me, which will affect my teaching. In addition, my little girl will be there too.  After careful consideration, I don't think this is good choice for me and my little family to make.  I am sorry but I can help you in other ways such as mentoring the Chinese teachers on teaching strategies.
