03.11.13: The Final Countdown

Dear Friends and Family,

This is the week, the final week in a long and sometimes arduous journey. This week, after much contemplation, some prayer, some discussion, and perhaps one or two more school visits, is the week we accept one of the schools that accepted us last week. We'll send in a deposit and begin a whole new journey of transitioning P from her current school to her new school in the fall.

We can worry about scheduling play dates until next week. We can worry about scheduling P's birthday party next week. We can worry about work next week. This week, we need to focus on making the right decision.

With that being said, I realize this decision isn't final. If, for some reason, we're not happy, we can always withdraw P from the school we chose and look at our next best options. We're still responsible for the care and education of P. The school is a partner in the process, but we're not going to abdicate our responsibility. And, we're still responsible for talking to P, learning what she likes and doesn't like about school. I'm hoping we can nip any problems in the bud. I'm hoping she shares with us.

All that being said, this is the week we make our decision. Deposits are due by Friday, so we have this week to decide.


Cheers!

PS: The weekend was easy. The cancelled a weekend trip so we had all sorts of time left to enjoy at home.
