Our kids have decided to go to another school next year. C wants to go there because during recess the kids are much more physically active (Dodge Ball and Hopscotch, she says) and S. Jr. almost peed his pants when he saw this school's computer room.
The day we went to check this new school out and to test the kids to see if they were ready (the homeschooled one is, the other one will need to get caught up a little - kudos to me), we did a full tour and were impressed all the way around. I also heard that it was very hard to get in, but because we belong to the parish (and I serve) it isn't a problem... ah, to have connections...!
But what I loved the most that day was the sheer joy in our son. So much so that at one point he ran up to the Director (who was giving us the tour), raised his arms at her and screamed "WACKA-WACKA!!". To this day I dont' know why he did this, but I'm still laughing. She basically looked at him and went "Oh, ok!" and kept walking. Fortunately they had already accepted him and I don't think she could go back on her word, thankfully.
I'm dreading next year's 7:50 am classes, but I suppose I'll cope. The neighbor 2 doors down has a child who goes there as well, and although I could ask her, I'm not sure she would carpool w/me. I tried before (our kids attend Cathecism at the same time) and she didn't respond...
Off to ask our son if he wacka-wackaed her too...
