Yup, happy birthday to Emmett!

Only the good kind of eep! I know it's come up as a sudden decision, but it really sounds like a great opportunity in so many ways.

It is. Her priority in placement in the school for K is at #2, right behind the automatic in of siblings. So unless the entire incoming class is composed of younger siblings, she'll get into Grattan for Kindergarten.

Also, while there is tuition based on-site aftercare for K-2, from 3rd to 5th grade it's free.

Also because the City of San Francisco's population voted for Preschool For All (PFA, one of Gavin Newsom's biggest initiatives in office) they've slowly been rolling it out and it just this year includes Grattan. We will possibly/maybe/probably be eligible for a discount which would take it from $44/day to $30/day. That would be a huge boost for us.

Matilda was shy there, but intrigued by the new play areas. I still know it will be a tricky transition for her, but I think we will be able to finish her M-W-F schedule next week and take her to the new school on Tues-Thurs. Maybe for half days.

And while her birthday is on this Sunday we're doing the party for Oct. 3rd, which will allow everybody a goodbye for her.

I figure I'll list it on craigslist.

Try Game Stop first. They buy and sell new stuff all the time. Though I'm not sure if you get cash or store credit. But Emmett traded in his Wii for his Xbox 360.

Fucking socialists. Good on ya.

The school has a big garden that's integrated into all the coursework of the school at every level.

Smonster would approve of the green-themed education.

Fucking socialists. Good on ya.

That's one thing Gavin got right, and the locals backed him. It's something that provides a huge material benefit for all the parents in the city.

Happy Birthday Emmett. I can look at my daughter and believe that he's 14 already.

This sounds like a modern rite of passage.

Yeah, well before he got into Krav we sold the Wii to his mom as a way to do the Wii-fit program.

Then he upgraded to stabbing people in Venice.

However benighted Georgia may be, we have had pre-K for 15 or so years, courtesy of people who don't understand statistics.
