Colby and that some little girl named Michaella hits her and gets a time out.
Not what I call blossoming or a "head start!"

the little boy saying "shut up" and the little girl hitting is a head start
for school--they'll be all set to give out verbal and physical abuse at
school.

On the preschool topic,
Our two oldest went to preschool, for two years each, and they LOVED it. In
my opinion, if all schools were more like preschools, the world would be
much better off.
Our youngest did not go, because he did not want to be separated from Mom
and Dad and Brothers, and lots of other family members, which was fine with
me.
Really, they went to private church preschools, and had so much fun, only
two mornings per week. All they did is play, sing songs, listen to stories,
put on holiday performances, etc. The boys both loved it. They both went
to Kindegarten, and were not happy at all, which I am glad for. Kindegarten
was all about sitting down, being quiet, listening, BORING for my boys.

older siblings, and partly because of their philosophy that kids learn
through play. (I would have taken him out in a minute if he didn't like
it.) I was also hoping he would make some friends that he would keep after
the others went to school, but that didn't really happen. He's made most
of his friends through sports teams.
