Stephen just got accepted into Early Head Start, which is a government-funded preschool program for broke folks like us. He goes for several hours per day, Monday-Friday. It has been great for Mama, who has had her first break since Sarah was born, although it has been hard for her, too. Stephen cried a lot the first several days he had to go. Mama cried, too. But he has liked the idea of going to school since the beginning and by week 2 he was hardly crying when we dropped him off.
He has fun there, playing with other kids, getting more socialized (if that were possible), and taking baby steps towards independence.
Next month Sarah will go back to her own Head Start preschool in the same building, and then Mama will really have a break - several hours in a row per day with no tiny person demands.
