Well, dang.

We've been talking to Riley about pre-school for a while now--going over what kind of place it is, who he'd be likely to see, what they'd probably do etc. For quite a while he was dubious about the whole arrangement and told us he didn't want to go, which was fine, but now he's really ready to go romp with the other kids, so we turned in our application at the Waldorf school. 

We'd taken the tour early last winter and were assured that whatever month or day we chose made no difference and they had plenty of room. Well, that was then. They are now completely full and have no room for Ri, which is a complete bummer for everyone. We're going to be on the waiting list in the event that someone leaves, but in the mean time we're in a holding pattern. I'm sure there are other programs available at other places, but I don't want to just stick him any old place and then move him when his spot comes open, so we'll just continue doing our thing out in the world till there's room for him at his school.
