After much debating with myself I finally decided to enroll Will in Two by Two preschool two days a week and continue one day a week at Jack and Jill. I was really torn about what would be best for him because he has always complained (or threw tantrums, depending on his mood) about going to preschool. His main complaint was that it was "boring", though he always looked engaged and entertained while he was there.
Two by Two is more structured with less free-play time and more of an emphasis on education (writing, worksheets, etc.) so I thought he might enjoy the change. We called it "big school" and he got really excited about it.
He's been going for several weeks now and is enjoying it. The funny part is he's not complaining about his one day at Jack and Jill either. I don't know what has caused the change in attitude but I'm just thankful for it!
I did have to laugh at him the other day though. We were having dinner and Jerry asked how school was that day. Will said it was good but "that woman talked a lot." We asked who "that woman" was a found out he was referring to his teacher. He proceeded to say "she just kept talking and talking and then was talking louder and louder so I just started ignoring her." I asked what she was talking about but he said he didn't know (dumb question on my part - of course he didn't know - he was ignoring her!). I didn't want to reinforce ignoring the teacher but it sure was hard not to laugh!!
