Sammie’s going to pre-pre-preschool
Talk about mind blowing. Huong and I went to orientation for Sammie’s preschool last night, meeting the teachers, filling out forms, getting a tour of the place. Huong made the comment that it was going to be the last time that Sammie isn’t in school until she’s an adult. Weird. It was fun though. Nice to see the parents of the other kids, and the staff was really cool, and the place looks like a lot of fun. It’s a coop preschool, which means that parents are required to participate as opposed to just dropping kids off, so they have tasks that have to be completed (making sure the tables are cleaned, stuff like that) as well as larger activities, such as minor maintenance, fundraisers, things like that. They also have parenting classes, CPR certification, and fun activities on a regular basis. All in all, I’m looking forward to it since it seems like it’ll be a good experience for us as well as Sammie.
Afterwards we went to see Balls of Fury at the local movieplex. If you enjoyed the Naked Gun movies you’ll probably enjoy this — think Fists of Fury with the kungfu swapped for ping pong, but with physical comedy and dumb dialog laid on top. Needless to say I loved it and Huong hated it.
