There is a great deal of debating going on in our house. We have found an opportunity to get Aubree into pre-school at age 3 I am all for it! Its a 3 hour either 2 or 3 day a week program for this year then a 5 day 5hr program the next year. Brad however isn't. His reasoning is that it isn't fair for Aubree to get 2yrs of preschool when Breven only had 1.
My point is that Aubree is different from Breven. She doesn't have the motor skill delays, doesn't need the intense OT and things that her brother did. Socially she is ready as well she isn't as clingy or needy for me as her brother was. At 3 I can tell you honestly he was not ready for preschool and at 4 he was. But miss Aubree is totally different. She is watching her brother go to school and wants to go. She is playing with his educational items and trying to learn. I want her to see that we do care and show an interest so we want her to go to school. She tries to find letters in things and makes sounds, she needs to play with more kids.
She also didn't get some of the same opportunities Breven did to go out and do some of the things he did. The economy was different and money was different at that time. Breven got to go to more things and the library was not as crowded for the pre-school programs. Its just so much harder now and to have to work around Breven's school schedule this year is not easy!
This preschool opportunity is also much more affordable then Breven's was allowing us to get 2 years for the price of 1yr at Breven's old school. It also allowed me to be involved in the class room and at the school.
I am not sure what the outcome is going to be but she is high up on the list to get in so I am hoping in the next month to change my husbands mind and Aubree gets the chance she wants to go to school.

If Aubree is ready to go, then by all means she should. Sorry Brad, I don't agree with your reasoning. You wouldn't want t hold her back, or have her bored at home. Beig able to go to pre-school is a great thing. My oldest has always been one of those "Love education" kids, even as a toddler, all she wanted to do was learn, so I put her in early pre-school. By the time Kindergarden started she knew her letters, numbers, she didn't struggle at all, by 3rd grade she wa in the gate class, by 5th grade she was doing some 7th grade work. High school was all honors classes, she graduated with Honors. and look where she is now a Dr.She is a PHD and we are so proud of her. I say grasp every opportunity we can give our children, you never know where it may lead them. :-) Just my 2 cents. :-)
