Moving On

Tyler had his last day at Washington International School today. He will be moving on to a new preschool in the fall (um, next week). We are very excited for him, but somewhat sad to leave WIS, too. Tyler had a very positive experience at WIS, but the commute was getting to be too much for us. Funny, I have a friend whose son went there a few years ago, and when I told her Tyler was going, she mentioned the commute being tough. I didn't think so at the time, but since having Crosby, it's been a nightmare. It's fine to sit in traffic when Tyler's just falling asleep in the back. After Crosby was born, it's been screaming baby sessions during the traffic. NOT FUN. 

We move on to a school much closer to home. They have many of the same teaching philosophies that we like about WIS, just no Mandarin. Oh well. Another reason we felt it is time to make the switch is because Tyler will start going to Chinese school on the weekends where Vincent has been going. And, last reason for the switch is play dates. We don't get to know the other families at WIS because they come from all over the area, being north of Seattle. This way, we will be closer to class mates, and hopefully Tyler will get outside socialization with friends.

Good-bye Teacher Peony. FYI, Ty's drawings are the top middle bee, and the 3rd row, far right bird.
