Continuing our torrid pace, we’ve uploaded another set of photos this weekend. This one focuses on Julia’s dance class, with a few other snapshots from earlier this year thrown in for good measure. At the rate we’re going, we’ll be caught up in a few short weeks; it helps that we took dramatically fewer pictures this year than last.

Joe’s all set for his first day of preschool tomorrow morning, so it should be an interesting day. I’m expecting the drop-off to be a bit rough. Back in the infant center, he was usually OK if I got him there early enough that the kids were still inside playing; if they were already out on the playground, tears were almost sure to be shed. I think the added noise and confusion were just too much for him to deal with.

Preschool will be even tougher, because even when the classes are still inside, the different age groups are commingled until class officially starts at 9:00: the two-year-olds like Joe are mixed in with bigger kids who are four or five. The older kids tend to be a bit more rambunctious than the little ones, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Joe were to have a hard time coping. We’ll see how it goes.
