Daddy, can you go away?
Yesterday we candidated for pre-school (two hours, twice a week - nothing too intense). There was a structured play time for the two year olds during which they were assessed by the teachers. Meanwhile, there parents were able to chat with the admissions director in a circle of chairs nearby. While we were talking, Elisabeth interupted us to say loudly,
"Daddy, can you go away?"I explained that the parents were talking, and that she could continue playing, which she did.
The humor in all this is how much Elisabeth is like her mother. Apparently on Rebecca's first day of kindergarten, she got out of the car and said to her mother something to the effect of,
"You can go away. I'm going to school."

I'd love to hear more about the whole process-- candidating for preschool sounds quite odd to a midwesterner. :)

I can see how it would sound strange, but I think that the intent is good. The idea, as I understand it, is to make sure that they're accepting kids who are ready for pre-school. If a kid isn't ready, then putting him or her in a classroom is not good for anyone.
So . . . we got the call yesterday to say that she had been accepted - now we'll have to see if they offer financial assistance.
