So after last week's disappointment with the park district's preschool, Kate and I went to take a tour of Schaumburg's school district preschool. I know. I was a bit more impressed this time...bright room, clean tables, chairs, rugs, and equipment. I liked that the room was meant for a preschool and that it wasn't previously used as a dance studio. I also liked that I got to meet the actual teacher Kate will be with and that she didn't come to work in her pajamas! She seemed fairly kind and even asked Kate for a goodbye hug but of course, Kate refused. She plays hard to get. Kate introduced herself as Katherine (so cute) and found a big yellow bus with a slide to play in. Kate also made a craft for dad and played in the sandtable next to a couple of preschoolers who were very nice. A super big plus for me was that there were books everywhere! I love a classroom filled with books. I think we may go this route. Now we have to fill out the paperwork.

Sydney's on new formula yet again. I'm at my wit's end. At least she's sleeping better.

Kate and I went to Taste of Preschool today at the park district. It was okay. All the teachers there looked like they just woke up. They were wearing sweats! Um, is this their best effort? Kate enjoyed most of the hour we spent there. She did not enjoy group time when she had to dance/sing/say hello. I'm thinking maybe going through school district or trying one of those "preschool schools".

I have once again been injured by Ellie. Last time she landed on my right shoulder, dislocating it. This time, she tripped off a step stool and either the step stool or Ellie or both landed on my right 4th toe. The right side of my body is busted. I believe soon after I had Kate, I broke my right ankle.

I felt an earthquake for the first time early this morning, but was too drowsy to realize what it was until Jae told me the news before sending off Ellie to school. I feel like a zombie now a days. Sydney is such a light sleeper. She only sleeps well in the swing, but I've been warned not to place her there too long for fear of her developing a flat head. Koreans.

Sydney's starting to laugh but I can't seem to coax it out of her. So far, only dad and grandma have been successful at doing so. I told Jae, "I guess I'm not ugly enough."
