hendrix catapults himself everywhere. all of the time. his energy knows no bounds. (even when he has a cold) he literally vibrates sometimes because he is so full of energy. most days, when he is home with me, he is able to find things to absorb his energy. when his dad comes home, though, it is a different story. mike must be some sort of adrenaline rush for hendrix because every night is spent watching hendrix catapult himself off of his dad's body and screaming his ideas into mike's face. needless to say, he can be a wear out sometimes. most of the time it is fun to watch someone SO INTO LIFE.
hendrix goes to a fantastic mom's day out program and is supposed to be going into the big kid room soon. however, because of a few factors i am now exploring weather or not the program will be a good place for the now 3 1/2 year old hendrix. to be honest, i think preschool for 3 year olds is a little overboard. however, now that hendrix is 3 1/2, fully potty trained, and obsessed with what letters word begin with...i am thinking it may be a good outlet for his energy. his desire and ability to learn is sometimes staggering. and i have a hard time keeping up. so, perhaps, instead of 5 hours, one day a week at mdo...he could spend 5 hours, 2 mornings a week at preschool.
it's very hard. it's hard making decisions like this for your kids. having faith in your parenting and decision making skills. letting them grow up. it's hard being flexible enough to make decisions. parents have big plans for their kids and themselves prior to the baby actually being born. then the baby is born and life gets real.
so tomorrow i will tour the preschool with my 3 year old. and i'll only cry when no one is looking.
